And not only that. I think real estate sales really follow the larger economy. So, a realtor might have a great two years, then their regional economy is in a slump, and then their personal sales drop (?) 40%. I mean, it's an up and down income.

Now, a particular realtor reading this might say, Hey, the only problem I've had is hiring a good CPA and deciding how much money to give to charity. If so, more power to you! But I think a lot of people do have the slow initial start-up and the periodic slumps.

This is just one of several things I'm considering and would appreciate any advice.

And how do you take a two-day "weekend" of say Tuesday and Wednesday and/or keep your evenings free from clients who expect you to be at their beck and call 24/7?
