Top Online Business Opportunity For Real Estate and Mortgage Professionals

I have had a successful twenty three year career in real estate, the last twenty one with RE/MAX as a Hall of Fame Associate Broker. So if you are still hanging in there in this market, we may have a lot in common.

Just a few years ago we were on top of the world, seemed like things were too good to be true and they were. Prices skyrocketing, high commissions steadily rolling in and then the market shifted. For those of you that have been around for a while, it was an unavoidable cycle, the sub-prime market dried up, foreclosures increased dramatically, prices declined and short sales became the rule instead of the exception.

Ok, we have seen it before, keep doing what you're doing, keep spending on advertising and above all don't quit. Six months go by, keep your head up, maybe another year and we will be on top again. Two years, no end in sight. As an eternal optimist at what point do we say, " maybe I need to have a reality check, maybe I need to look at another source or multiple streams of income." Whether you were making $300,000 and now $100,000 or $90,000 has turned into $30,000, the affect on your standard of living is the same.

We can make the decision willingly or our financial situation can make it for us. Let's face it; our business is about lead generation and lead conversion. First the quantity of leads dried up and then the quality. I was converting 4 of 10 and spending little time to complete the entire sales process. Compared to 4 in 100 and the process takes so long, that the hourly rate, after all is said and done, is a lot less then we are worth.

What do we do? Well we can change careers, or we can do something to earn little extra money and wait the market out. I have considered and tried both and found a solution, regardless of your answer. I knew that for me, a 52 year old man with no college education in this devastated job market, there were not many if any options to replace the money I was making in real estate. So I turned to the internet, the only mechanism available giving average ordinary people the leverage to create wealth.

Since I had no online business experience, I searched for a way to start an online venture, one that I could learn as I earn. It took me more than a year, but it was well worth the research. I found something called a Business in a Box, a duplicatable system that others were already using to achieve the success I was looking for. I was given the same tools, training and support. The ability to earn income immediately and grow at my own pace. This truly was a top online business opportunity.
