More than half of banana imports, America’s most popular fruit by volume, comes in through the ports being struck as of Tuesday morning, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.Other items I have read that are at risk are: cherries, cocoa, sugar, imported wine, beer and hard liquor.In the spirit of the strike impacting more than just materials and labor directly correlated to real estate, I intentionally posted this in "Off Topic" as I want to get a better understanding of what your concerns are with an ongoing strike.

Wishing all the participants a  happy and fruitful time and networking luck:)

I know the pros are still clicking along, but the low hanging fruit seems to have dried up, for me at least.

That is the best track for agents who are veterans because you will understand more about buying when deployed and the transient nature of ownership if you are still in so this is smart.

Worthwhile keeping a  few fresh fruits  lying around?

As compared with local lenders credit unions the reporting requirements are vastly more for agency loans.John

Easier Fruit -- and the band played on....

You are not interviewing for a job, you are deciding if you want to work together more so.A few things to ask or decide before going in1) What training do you offer2) Do you offer leads3) What are the typical commission splits and what fees do you have for agents?

I look for opportunities to offer MORE for a tenant but I look for low hanging fruit in this regard.

Hoping to make fruitful connections with both investors and lenders alike.
