If you want to be a real estate agent: Pre-licensing coursework (varies by state, typically 60-180 hours). Pass the state exam.

Sphere-of-influence selling, open houses, and relentless follow-up still build the business. AI handles the grunt work; you still have to walk every house and tell the truth about it.
