Yeah - it takes time. When I first got into commerical real estate one of my guys told me that: year 1 make no money and put up own money to live. year two almost break even year three make a few bucks. year 4, turn a profit, and year 5, make more than you have ever made it before.
If your going to do a 100% commission job, you need to have enough money to live for a while. You can get a draw, but thats just robbing peter to pay paul. Base + commission is the way to go.
I couldnt hack it. I needed the salary, the benefits and the ability to say ******* and leave at 4.30 some days instead of being made to feel guility I wasnt working 98 hours a week.
I think if you had another go taking all the necessary precautions I believe you would be quite good and make far more by being on commission only.
