He's the number one recruiter of agents in the country, works right here in the DMV and is very active with investors. 

@Brian Simmons My wife is from Springfield, and I was a recruiter there.

I imagine it depends on what level of talent you want to recruit.

And so I recruited Lamer for those 22 units, more aligned to that area and that kind of property.

I've met the team leader and the recruiter (obviously) but I'm hoping that there will be plenty of experienced Realtors to talk to.

I like multifamily for economies of scale and often times the tenants act as a leasing agent or sorts as they may recruit friends to live in the vacant units.  

etc.I'm in sales and joint venture recruitment in my online space so naturally I'd think having more of these lenders and real estate pros on my side would be a good idea but I admit I'm flying blind on the specifics.I'm quite possible overthinking this so happy to have people answer that too if that's the case.

I work fulltime, so was thinking a VA, buy lists, and try and recruit property scouts.

So if I were to recruit you to Keller Williams and you sell a house and earn a commission and your office makes a profit that month, I would get a profit sharing check based on that sale from that office, but does not affect your commission in any way - it's hard to explain.That disclosure out of the way - in Kansas City, for any new agent traditional or investor, I would spend at least a year, probably two in a Keller Williams office.1) They have the best training for agents in Kansas City2) They have the best training to teach you how to run a business and market that business - that translates very well to the investor.3) They don't have board duty or quotes, many of the big companies do.I think every new agent should learn how to do their job correctly, whether they intend to be a traditional agent or not, and KW will teach you that and they also teach how to run your business like a business, very helpful for a new investor.If I were picking offices I would go with the one closest to your home or your day job so you can make their training classes.Once you are experienced, I would say stay with KW for at least 3 years so you can become vested (It was 3 years when I was there and I was there for about 6 years), so you to can bring in new agents and earn profit sharing.They also have an amazing back office and tools to run your realtor business, that again works for the investor too.If you already know what you are doing, then I would probably be looking at Chartwell, Platinum or Kansas City Regional Homes for 100% commission offices.Reece and Nichols usually does not want you unless you are a traditional agent and meeting their quotas.

Also they give you an option to recruit people to the school and get paid for it.
