Some states require less leasing agents to have a real estate license. Although working at an Apartment Complex has regular daytime hours, it can also require weekends. This is beneficial because they offer benefits packages and management positions.
Work for the Government
The government has a number of jobs that may not require a real estate license, but will look at having a license and real world experience favorably. These could range from negotiating leases to disposing of unused space, or anything where the government and real estate intersect. A government agency that employs you could be anything from your state’s Department of Transportation, the Defense Department to your county; likewise, there are numerous other agencies of all shapes and sizes.

Real Estate Consulting
Selling your expertise as a real estate consultant will bring in profits. You may be able to charge someone for your knowledge and expert opinion, or provide it to them on Fiverr.

Showing Only Agent
It’s possible to earn money by being an agent for other agents. Some companies only require that you show the property, with no obligation to represent any specific interests and they’re easy to register. Other agencies offer more benefits such as a selling commission, but expect a much larger workload.
