Hi Guys, I need your help. I live in San Francisco, CA, and I want to be a real estate agent in Las Vegas. I have a four years degree in accounting. I want to change my career into real estate because I have been unemployed for 2 years, and I have had hard time to find an accounting job in CA. Anyway, does anybody know what is the best and the cheapest real estate school in Las Vegas and San Francisco? Can I take some real estate courses in CA that are transferable to Nevada? I am thinking that I will take some of the courses here in CA, then move to Nevada. I need your advice. Please give me your best advice because I only have some money left on my savings to achieve my goal. Thank you in advance.
You can take a basic Real Estate Foundation course but every state has its own exams and there are different laws. I went to Anthony Schools in San Francisco for the Calif. state exam. it was a prep course just for passing the test for R.E. sales. But I had already studied Real Estate in Arizona. I had to read up on California laws before i took the exam in Calif. So I really went through twice, but Anthony was just a test prep class for 6 weeks live on site. I would never go online because R.E. was difficult for me without any business or finance background. Anthony Schools is probably in Vegas too.

I have a perfect credit (estimae between 745-795) and I have been with new employer for over 6 months not a bad income too (500 per week). I would like to get something with no money down in Las Vegas, NV. Is it gonna work? What is the best way to do that now? Thanks.
I never owned a home or anything, I only had one auto loan and I paid it off. I have / had credit cards too (no late payments at all etc). No collections or nothing negative at all, credit history for 6 years.
It is difficult, but if you find a private seller, who will do AN AGREEMENT OF SALE", then you will have a chance. Possibly someone in financial difficulty or some one with several homes to unload.

What employers in Las Vegas region offer jobs that pay at least $20/hour these days? From reading online it seems pretty bleak now. I saw some ads for loan modification specialists, but are those jobs scams? Are they commission only?
I’d also be interested in hearing what the average monthly electric bill is for a one bedroom apartment in Las Vegas area. I’m worried that having to have AC on constantly would result in sky-high electric bills. I’m used to New England climate.
what about white-collar jobs in IT, finance, or accounting industries? names of specific companies would be helpful
scam yes.
commission they will work you 3 days do not meet goal, release you.
$20 is near impossible here. right now.
do you have a license. plumber, elevator.
you can make it then
if not, sorry.

I think the closest match you will find is a home builder with significant exposure to Las Vegas. Beazer Homes (ticker: BZH) is one that comes to mind. I like your contrarian thinking. However, you might be a bit early on this idea as Las Vegas is remarkably overbuilt.
Since Las Vegas is so dependent on gambling, you might look at some casino stocks as a proxy for the local economy. There is probably a decent correlation with real estate prices.
