Zachary,

Welcome to good ole Spring Patch as buddy used to say. It's a great place to be and also a mighty fine place to invest.  Happy to help in any way I can or just get some coffee sometime. 

Take care. 

@Steven Thomas Thanks for reviving this post from quite a while ago. I'm loving the comments.

@Brian Gibbons Thanks for sharing some great Jim Rohn, one of my favorites to listen to for sure.  There is so much good in what he wrote and spoke about.  

Another of my favorites is Zig Ziglar.  About six months ago I started reading his "Self Talk" card to myself at least once a day and it has made a huge difference.  I started noticing the language that I not only told myself in my head but actually said out loud. I started catching myself saying things like, "You idiot" when I would make a mistake at something.  That may seem like a small thing but the result of that I know was not good.  I've since taken that completely out of my vocabulary.

Brian, I also completely agree with the point that while all this head stuff is important, that if we don't follow it up with action it won't matter.  I've have resolved to taking more action and is making a huge difference.  I always thought that it was difficult to find a deal and now I see them all over the place, they are not at all hard to find.

I use Hawthorne Bank in Springfield, MO. Ask for Scott Franklin, he'll treat you right if the deal's there.

I'd just hold tight. Sounds like you're doing lots of the right things. Winter is a tough time to rent. In my experience January is the best time of the winter to rent, February is typically tough because it is normally our coldest month and then March forward is much better. 

Good deal.  I'll let you know.

Josiah,

Welcome to BP.  It is a great place to learn and grow.  Here in a couple weeks to a month a couple of us are going to have  BP meet up if you're interested in coming.  I'll get you details when we have them.  

Take care,

Aaron

@Jay Hinrichs  thanks for the help. That's what I was thinking as well but just wanted to go in "eyes wide open". 

@Jay Hinrichs  I don't know why I missed all the replies here. I'll have to check my settings. 

My sole purpose is opening an agency is for doing investments. I don't want to have other agents really unless they would be investors also. So do think it makes more sense just to an agent under another broker and call it good?

Here in the state of Missouri you can become a broker after practicing as an agent for two years. My question is more in preparation of getting my brokers license. What sort of things, expenses, etc must I have or do to open my own office? For example I believe that most brokers have E&O insurance (Errors and Omissions) but what other things should I expect to get? Any help from other Missouri brokers would be great.

Alex,

Welcome to BP, it is a great place to learn and grow.  I read that you came down here to old Springfield for college...hope you enjoyed it here.  I think you have some great goals and personally think you could expand your five year goals as you get going.  Just get out there.  Learn, take action, make adjustments, take action and just keep taking action.

Good luck with the journey.
