If I was to move overseas and rent my house out, how much would I expect to pay a real estate agent to manage the property? Eg as a percentage of the weekly rental rate?
I forgot to say, this property is in Sydney, Australia.

I will be buying a house in the next six months. I have a couple of real estate brokers who have been recommended by family friends and colleagues. How many real estate brokers should I be talking to?

I work at a dead end job. I want to quit and get into real estate. I know there is a lot of potential in that field. How does one get started? Is selling houses difficult? What are the requirements? What do real estate firms look for in a potential employee?

I want to get my real estate licenses, but I don’t have time to go to school. I would rather work for a company that will train me. If not, how do I go about getting my licenses in the least amount of time as possible?

I purchased a home in October, 2007. My monthly mortgage payment includes my county, state, and school taxes (they are placed in Escrow).

Apparently my tax payments will be paid out of escrow in April, May and August of 2008.

Does that mean that I can not claim real estate for my 2007 return?

(At closing, I did have to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes he had already paid up to Dec. 31.)

I am 22 years old. My boyfriend and I are planning to start flipping houses in the next year or so. My boyfriend is a carpenter. I am wondering if getting my real estate licence now would be a good move?

I want to get my license to do commercial and residential real estate apprasials, but I am worried about the current real estate market. Is this still a good career to pursue, or is the market really ending for this type of business? How much money do appraisal workers make annually? Thanks for any info!
