I just got my California Real Estate License, so now where do I go from here? Can I also be a loan officer? I'm so confused, someone help me! =)

Sign up with a company to hang your license, get trained by your office and go make some money. Most likely you can be a loan officer also as long as you can handle it. I suggest you learn the real estate biz first and then after you're comfortable start to learn the mortgage business. It can be very financially rewarding doing both, but make sure you're not overwhelmed with one before trying to do both. I know a lot of top producing real estate agents that know almost nothing about mortgages, so being a loan officer isn't necessary for being a successful agent (in case that's why you want to do both).

Move to Texas, and take the test here. California Real estate scene sucks right now. Nothing's moving there.

Study, Study, Study ... and make sure that you get good at what you're doing. Don't try to be everything to everybody. This isn't rocket surgery ... Learn everything you can about being an agent and do it well or don't do it at all. You'll only get yourself into trouble.

Aren't you working for a broker?You ought to get some experience first before jumping into other fields. You must take more classes for other sectors of real estate.This is a very tough market to start! you may be paying out more than you take in...but experience is necessary...then when the market opens up you will be ready!

yeah I will agree with bartliddy (http://www.realestateinsider.net/member.php?u=4917) make sure to get an experienced first before engaging in commitment.
