So, there are you sitting at your desk worried about being fired, or at the very least, having to endure another pay cut. The feeling comes over you to consider other career options but because the economy is in the toilet at jobs are much scarcer, you come to the realization that this is just your lot in life. Then, all of sudden, it hits you, “I could move to Texas and become a realtor!” Suddenly your life has new meaning, and you live happily ever after.
If you are someone who is in need of a change, you really need to look at selling real estate in Texas. You may have never been self-employed before, but do not let that stop you. There is one main reason why selling real estate is hot in Texas right now, and that is because people are moving to Texas in droves. There are a number of reasons for this, and here are a few:
The Cost of Living is Much Much Cheaper
The main thing that is cheaper in Texas is the cost of real estate. No matter where you live in the country, for the most part anyway, you can probably find cheaper real estate in Texas. In fact, I know of at least one family, who sold their home in another state and bought two homes in Texas for the same price! This is the main reason many people are moving to Texas
You Don’t Pay Any State Income Tax
That is correct. Texas does not have any state income tax. So, look at your most recent pay stub and see how much is taken out of your paycheck. You can now consider that amount as savings when you move to Texas.
The Weather Is Nice
Now, I’ll admit that Texas does not have optimal weather like Hawaii or California, but you don’t have to deal with snow or ice (usually). For some people that is good enough to move.
So, that you have a few reasons why so many people are moving to Texas and buying homes, I hope that you can begin to see the need for more realtors. The great thing is, if you decide to pursue real estate in Texas, is that you do not have to be in Texas to actually get licensed. You can actually take the courses and get licensed in Texas right from your home computer. Just do a search. There are a number of sites that offer these courses.
