I'm considering placing my RE license under their leadership. 

We already deploy email campaigns, and attend a few conferences a year, but I'm trying to figure out what I should be adding.

There are a number of qualifications we look for in an applicant such as: Leadership or Managerial ExperienceHospitality/Food/Retail ExperienceInvolvement in the local communityCustomer Service ExperienceFinancial StabilityPassion for the brandProven track record of successBusiness SavvyTwo Partners**Please note Tim Hortons franchises only to individuals who will be hands-on operators, not to corporations or passive investors.

I ended up having conference calls with the three bureaus and representatives from Franchise Tax Board.  

Set up a meeting or a conference call with them and tell them you are looking for off-market properties and they can represent you as a buyer.

Did you meet organically or at a trade show/ conference?

Some are very good at managing and others fail at it.I remember being a teacher years ago and I disliked it because most of the job entailed managing students, attending meetings, grading papers, attending parent-teacher conferences, coaching basketball, managing my time, and managing my classroom.

But, offering a $4 cup of coffee, attending a conference, or offering your time to that investor to dig a trench, paint a wall, or clean out a unit while she/he is flipping a building gives them reason to think you are worth the skin you are rocking.

You can convert space for individual offices, with a common conference room, lunch room, shares secretarial services – phone, fax, copy… Depending on the building you can have movable walls that are basically dividers between desk’s / offices for expansion / contraction.

I went to the SE's Mobile home conference and the big deal there was how to do a lease / option to eventually sell a MH in a park and be Dodd Frank compliant (NOT offering financing to an occupant).- If you offered financing for refrigerator boxes for folks to live in you fall under Dodd Frank.
