So my questions always is: other than price, what else is important to your client?

It's completely law based but includes a ton of practical advice on how to market, screen, deal with late rent, serve notices, etc.

How many of these are repeat clients?

I was talking to an acquaintance the other day and they informed me about a strategy where one can essentially partner with insurance companies for when an insurance client's home is destroyed through natural disaster or other causes and the client can be put up temporarily in the rental instead of being put up in a hotel  by the insurance company for the time being.

Playing the long game with financial partnerships will serve you well!

My advice to clients is to not let taxes control their life decisions. 

Yes, there are investor-oriented real estate brokerages that assist clients with the pre-acquisition analysis and support services you seek.If Metro Atlanta is one of your target markets, I'd be happy to refer you to the same brokerage I refer my own international clients to.

I've had 3-4 real clients out of the past 4-5 months I've used them.

I have had exactly one client accurately tell me their FICO score.

The full commission is paid either way.Not to mention that if you deal directly with the seller's agent, you're negotiating with someone who is bound by law and by ethics to get the best possible deal for his client - the SELLER.
