I agree Keller Williams would be a good starting point.  I started with them and they have great training and also a mentor program.  I am now with a transaction fee only broker which suits my needs at this time, since I've been licensed for quite a while.  Good luck.

Thank you everyone for your responses.  I agree with all of you.

We have been better off owning vs Renting. We have a truck and a dog and when we were looking for a rental in a few key areas of South Florida we were most often blown out by the HOA restrictions be it "no trucks allowed" or the landlord saying "no pets." I gave up. We had sold our house and could not find a deal that made sense fast enough so we were in limbo. We put our stuff in storage and temporarily moved in with family while we continued to search for a deal. Rents can be very high in Florida so it makes more sense for us to buy.

I've only rented for a short time frame when in transition and the landlady I had was so particular it was not worth the stress.  I kept the place immaculate and it didn't matter, she had to point out an inch long piece of dust behind the laundry room door.  Really???   

Hi Everyone,

We are rehabbing a house to flip and want your opinion on if it is better to stack the washer & dryer or to put the washer & dryer side by side in the laundry room.  There is room for either way, but there would be more room for a larger cabinet with counter top if we stack the units.  If the units are side by side we can still have a smaller cabinet.  My thoughts are to put the units side by side because a shorter person would be more comfortable with that configuration.  Please give me your input.  Thanks.

If I were you I would move to a broker that only charges you a transaction fee.  Luckily, in my state we have some decent sized good brokerages that do just that.

Coming soon to an American Greed episode near you...

Most likely you will, but don't quote me. I am on the RAPB board which also covers Miami-Dade and I have to be a part of NAR, FAR. Also, something to note, brokers pay a bit more in dues than sales associates for the same benefits (at least on the 2 boards I am on). This is one reason why I did not pursue my broker license and also I did not want any additional liability that goes with it. I'd rather have my license under a broker. I can do what I need to do as far as listing properties. I am also with a company that only charges a transaction fee, so for me it is a win-win.

Congrats!

I have it and played it years ago.  Very good game.
