It is the next big thing. Real estate is a great industry to get into, but it's important to know that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. You'll want to take a look at your own goals and preferences before deciding if real estate is right for you.
Here are three things to consider:
1. Do you have the time and energy to dedicate yourself fully? Real estate isn't just about buying and selling homes, it's about maintaining a business that can grow over time. You'll need to be willing to work long hours and keep up with paperwork.
2. Are you willing to make compromises? Real estate is all about negotiation—you must be willing to compromise with the seller, or else they won't sell the house at all!
3. Are you willing to invest in education? Real estate agents get their licenses after taking courses on how to properly run their businesses and how to handle clients' needs, so if this is something you're considering, start by getting educated first!

Real estate is a lucrative but equally sensitive sector. I think it is important to have a good plan. If you're going to do something, make sure you know what the hell you're doing. Don't just dive in and get lost in the details—make sure you have some sort of direction and an idea of how you want things to go.
Ask questions. If something doesn't make sense, ask about it! Don't let that question sit in your head until it drives you crazy; just ask someone who knows more than you do about it. That way, they can help fill in any gaps in your knowledge so that when problems come up, they don't seem like such an insurmountable obstacle.
Research your options. Researching is important for a lot of things, but especially for real estate. Get familiar with all your options before you decide on one and stick with it! If there's something better out there later on down the road, then great.
