How to Become a Successful Realtor Investor with RELNY

Your journey starts by completing the New York State (NYS) 77-Hour Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensing Course. At RELNY, we offer fully accredited courses that meet all New York State Department of State (NYS DOS) requirements. This foundational education prepares you not only to pass the licensing exam but also to understand market dynamics essential for successful investing.

Once you've completed the pre-licensing course, the next step is to pass the NYS licensing exam. RELNY’s expert instruction and comprehensive materials ensure you're fully prepared to succeed on your first attempt.

After passing the exam, submit your application to the New York State Department of State. Once approved, you’ll officially be a licensed real estate agent, which is the first step to becoming a realtor investor.

To gain the Realtor designation, join the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Membership provides access to exclusive tools, resources, and professional networks that can enhance both your real estate and investment careers.

For more information on accessing your NAR account, visit our NAR Guide.

In New York, many Realtors join local organizations like the Long Island Board of Realtors (LIBOR). These boards offer additional resources and networking opportunities, critical for identifying promising investment properties.

Learn more about joining LIBOR in our LIBOR Guide.

As a realtor investor, you gain access to property listings and market insights before they become publicly available. This early access allows you to identify undervalued properties and make strategic investment decisions.

Holding a real estate license means you can save on commission fees when buying or selling properties. This cost reduction can significantly improve your investment margins.

Membership in organizations like NAR and LIBOR opens doors to valuable industry contacts, from fellow investors to property managers and contractors. These connections can lead to better deals and partnerships.

Combining real estate transactions with property investments allows you to diversify your income. You can earn commissions from client deals while generating passive income from rental properties or property flips.

RELNY’s courses are fully approved by the New York State Department of State (NYS DOS) and accredited by the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO®). This ensures your education meets all state requirements, setting you up for success as a realtor investor.

To support our diverse student base, RELNY offers video subtitles and full transcripts in all five languages supported by the NYS Licensing Exam:

• English
• Spanish
• Chinese
• Russian
• Korean
