Beginning insurance agent

I read a lot of negative comments about becoming an agent with Aflac. For five years I was a Realtor in Florida. Here's what it costs to become and Independent Realtor: $200 for FBI background check, $75 to take state exam, $375 to take real estate course, then: affiliation with real estate agency, averages about $250 per month, local, state and national association dues per year - $700; lock box for homes $125 each for electronic access; electronic key rental $150 per year; business cards $75 to $125 per quarter; multiple listing access $360 per 6 months. Do the math and it costs about $1500 to $2000 to get started in real estate not to include advertising! Aflac sounds a lot better!!!

oh yeah. Definnitely. I'd rather do Aflac--if anything if I flop, allI lose is maybe $200 for a test.

I've invested a total of $290 here in Ohio. I just started last week.

You can track your progress if you want. I'm going to in a blog.

That ways I can look back after I'm successful and see what it took to get me there.
