I am a retail broker in DFW but our office has broker connections to Austin and its surrounding market. 

It’s worth reaching out to your local tax office to explore options.

I had a loan officer suggest to do this.

I feel like there will be lots of people that are ready to get our of their home offices!

Find a decently priced loan officer or two and stick with them.

For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

You will get some of these as well (This inquiry was for one of my 1500 SF 2 Bed + home office units)..... but by no means does this investment strategy warrant paying for a course.

Definitely will talk to people in my office.

Our office signed the contract and they got the permit and replaced the drain field.

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.
