I recently passed my TREC RE exam (wooo!) 

The company I'm at has two brokers, one older guy that our company uses (REO license type?) to be able to lease space at our office buildings we manage. The other just has it because he has had it forever and doesnt want to lose it (REI license type?)

I help supervise 6 of our apartment communities and want to start getting points for rent collection/property management (150/Property/Year) to build towards my 3600 of being a broker. 

First off what does REO and REI stand for in this case, real estate owned? Real estate investor/individual? Does it matter who sponsors me? Do we need insurance if im not writing sale contracts and only doing management duties? Both would sponsor me, the older gentlemen with the current REO may retire soon though so if it doesnt matter i would go with the other guy with the REI.

What documentation do i need to provide to TREC to certify my property management points for each of the 6 properties i help supervise?

Would greatly appreciate any help or guidance. The brokers here just maintain their license and dont know any of my questions and the people at information.trec have been less than helpful. 

Thanks,

Quick question, I would appreciate any help,

Does anyone use or know of a software or service to manage social media that they like? Ive been researching ones like Hootsuite, Buffer, Freinds+me, etc. and they all provide different things but none seem to be the right fit.

We have ~50 properties each with its own Facebook, Yelp, and Google+ page. We would like a software where i could easily manage all three, in particular responding to reviews and posting to multiple properties at once. Ideally i would like to be able to upload photos, sort by ratings, create analytic reports etc etc. 

To complicate my requirements we are beholden to a budget.

Seems like nothing fits my main requirements, i havent looking into the more "enterprise" solutions as some services quickly move into the tens of thousands of dollars. 

If anyone has any tools, software, or services that are reasonable priced and can manage social media for over 50+ properties i would greatly appreciate any help or information. 

Thanks,
