If they do have their own inhouse, then NO markup on these as they are already earning profit on their inhouse team.7. 20% on evictions is reasonable

(Which these duplexes will be until an LLC is established) But I wonder if there are benefits to earning my real estate license? 

Earn cashflow from entrepreneurship.2.

The other careers (not jobs) I/we helped create by giving people opportunities to find their true calling. 7.

And a few who do real, sustainable business.For an industry that loves to hate on agents, it's remarkable how most of them earn less, and do nothing compared to their peerset who simply get licensed. 

At this stage in my investing career I don't buy things that don't cash flow, so if the fixer upper is going to bleed cash until it's fixed, I wouldn't invest in it. 

If you take a day off and don't earn, that day will never return, and neither will the money you could have made.

Take your time to research and interview several brokerages beyond eXp to see if they fit what you need in your career right now. 

My wife started her career by 1st getting a realtor's license, then got a job with a real estate agent who's a former classmate.
