It would for sure have to be a higher hourly rate than a typical W2 job however as agents are 1099 contractors and there are expenses associated with maintaining our licenses and operating our businesses that usually come out of our commissions.

We exclusively travel during non-peak seasons, so we would be looking to rent out completely during busy/peak seasons, and would stay at the place during slow seasonsQuestions for the experts out there:1. which development(s) tends to be the best for ROI/have the best occupancy rates?

Sometimes occupants still live there and eviction is not easy, and I have even heard a story once that the yakuza are involved in the construction and real estate business and exorted money from buyers through occupants in these properties. 

Quote from @Matthew Paul: I understand how businesses work.

It works in the Central Business Districts of other global metropolitan cities with busy CBDs.

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

Hey Stephen, I know this was a while ago, but are you still in the business?

Might want to tuck that (and your TWO years of experience) back in.I guess if you consider doing 80% MORE investor business in 2024 than I did in 2023 "slow", okay then... ha ha ha.But hey - if people like you insist on being a complete jerk here, showing everyone exactly who they are, as Mel Robbins says, I'll "Let them".Who are you, again? 

Hi Michael,I agree with Bruce that rephrasing other people’s content can be risky, as it could potentially lead to plagiarism issues, and it doesn’t establish your business as an authority in the field.
