Quote from @Francisco Milan: These really do not do much these days for people finding most of the listing online; however, you need to be sure that you put one out because any lead is a lead to put in your database to market to. 

The square footage in the MLS is for marketing purposes.

I've also loved learning about the other 10 markets we operate in.I have two big goals.

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

The broker/owner, team lead, or seasoned agent could help another agent that is new in the business just like I did when I got into the business, I got a mentor to help me through gaining market share and how to do it.

Quote from @Robert Jones: @Kristi Kandel what market are you in? 

Find someone who's doing what it is you want to do in the market you want to do it in and bring them value to learn.

Help, I have a friend who wants to play the stock market and I don't know how to talk him out of it!

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.
