UK Landlord Forum / Life

So, I have decided to try to hack it in Austin a little while longer (especially after I got accepted to UT for the computer science program!), but I also want to go for my real estate agent license too (you can't have enough degrees or licenses under your belt in this economy). But before I go, I want to know how the market is for real estate agents in Austin. It seems to me that the market is overcrowded with real estate agents, even though Austin is building and opening more apartments like crazy!

The only jobs that I see new real estate agents getting is apartment locators and most of the time, the agent is forced to try to market ran down complexes that are stuck in the bad part of town no one wants to live in.

What I want to know is, what the earning potential for real estate agents in Austin. Is it overly crowded (the market)? How much commission can you get for renting out a single apartment/home? What are some good real estate brokers/agencies to work for? Thank you all in advance
