@Michael Simmonds I have one that took over a build for a client...

I’m making a few assumptions: 1) at least some buyers and sellers will accept much less agent handholding than commonly assumed, 2) the primary value that agents add is a) pricing guidance and b) advising clients on offers and counter-offers, and 3) there’s no truly compelling reason why North America has the highest average commissions in the rich world.

since I google front page for my name ( somewhat unique ) I have investors and clients ask me about these google things..

Most of my clients run their SFRs at a 25%-30% (excluding vacancy/credit loss) operating expense margin and most of the banks I deal with on their DSCR loans underwrite using 35%.

I'm personally still finding great deals for me and the clients I work with.

I would get a real estate license and work part time on weekends broker hate doing open houses sit at those you will pick up clients and investors that way.. get on a good team.. 

I still have clients but much more selective who I work with these days.Anything good NNN for dirt and tenant in strong suburban area about 2.5 million and up in price with at least 35% down.

By holding onto those properties, you'll be savoring the sweet taste of appreciation and cash flow, laying the foundations of a solid empire for generations to come.A long-term mindset is key to building lasting wealth in real estate.

Just recently, I'm looking for a rental for a client and recognized a property that just recently sold. 

The property I bought was a referral from a past client and a deal I could not pass up.
