Ok soo my Boyfriend, is a beginning real-estate investor, he's just studying all these courses right now,...


and i want to buy him all the supplies he is going to need to get started, hoping it will modivate him, but i dont know wat he will need aside from pens lol
what should i get

I believe you said Real Estate Investor, not Real Estate Agent right? If it's investor, then let him read on. Most fail at that by NOT understanding what they are doing. He will. I'm with the other guy, ASK HIM!!! Truly, what you could give him most is your time, interest, and support.
If he is studying to be a Real Estate Agent, give him the same!!!
For all those who ever say it's a bad time to get into any industry, that's maybe true for them. People who work at what they do seem to succeed no matter the economy. I became a stock broker in 1985, when interest rates wrer high and the market had been in the toilet since the late 1960's. Here I am 22 years later still making a pretty darn good living.
Those who look for the next hot industry usually end up jumping in right when it's about to crash. Those who continue to study their craft develop long term careers.
P.S. If he is an investor, tell him to take it slow, and this is a very good time to explore this.

ASK HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT HE NEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha he has bad timing. RE market is flooded with agents and home prices are declining. Get him a "will sell houses for food" sign, and get yourself a new boyfriend.

Thats good that he has a plan. Maybe you should help him think that out a little more. There are WAY too many real estate agenets, and the housing market is droping rapidly. He may end up paying for a license he'll never use.

Now's not the time...Print off some articles about the declining market...Then get him a list of classes at the local community college...RE sucks right now.

I wouldn't spend a fortune on supplies right now... see how it goes at first. There are big troubles in the market right now... Read this:

What courses is he studying?

Seriously, all you need is a pen and paper and lots of motivation. By the way, you can learn all this "investing" stuff for free by reading real estate investing books at your local bookstore and visiting websites like www.reiclub.com.

Also, I make a great living in real estate, even in this market. The smart and ambitious ones will always make money, no matter what the direction.

Regards
