Coming out of the woodwork...if you are considering real estate as a part time career be aware that it takes a lot of time. If you don't already have potential clients then you maybe digging a hole for yourself. The majority of real estate companies want their agents to work toward full time positions and require you to pay some sort of monthly dues (usually around $150) per month. To give you an idea of the financial commitment. I pay $400 per year for a realtor membership, $124 per month company dues and all marketing cost. These fees have to be paid if you sell a house or not. I forgot to mention the gas and car repairs and upkeep.
I also thought that if you became an apprasier you have to do like two years under an experienced apprasier. I think these are often volunteer hours.
The easiest part time I had was as a waitress. The money is good and the job can be easy.
Good Luck
