To tell you the truth most of those emails won't go to the right person you want to me. LinkedIn is amazing. I use it EVERYDAY you can look up the buyers, seller, developers -and CEO, Founders, VPs, Acquisitions people. When you add them on LinkedIn add a note and introduce yourself. Then you can call them once you connect and then you won't be a cold calling them. It will be a warm call.

 I'm in Orlando area, Central Florida. Going to have to research of the Florida Board 

If I remember from my class it was illegal to share or pay commission from a "SALE" to a non realtor like a friend. But if you are paying a referral to a friend who tell you address that might want to see. I don't think this would be illegal. You are not getting a commission off that property you are making a profit. Example offer 15,000 and sell to flipper for 20,000=5,000 profit not commission. But you never know I could be wrong and have no clue what I am talking about hahaha. Don't take this as legal advise and make sure to talk with the state.

@Brian Saeger

Most of the question the answer will jump out at you in you know the info. I would always say read all the question before picking the out what you think it right. Sometime there is a better right answer. 

Sample question is 

If broker Beth works with broker Bob and they own ABC realty. They have sale person Alex. Alex sells condos for the company.  Beth and Bob decide they don't want to be partners anymore and close ABC realty but Beth would like to open a office and be partner with sales person Alex. Can Beth do this?

Yes 

No

Yes only is Alex is a silent partner 

There is nothing wrong with what she is doing. 

I have like 2 question that i wrote down that I didn't know and wanted to check out. But I can't seem to find time.

Let me tell you what I did. The week of the exam. I took a cram class in person in my home town they guy went over everything from page 1 to the last page hit all the keys of the state exam. Do get hung up on the math. I had 3 or 4 math question. I dont stress about it.
