What screening process do you use? 

@Will Jones, we are in the process of putting an offer on a piece of land in where we will build a building for one of my businesses and then lease out the rest of the space.  

You can get these up and running fairly quickly, and streamline the process.

It was just a waiting game going through the foreclosure process Lessons learned?

Since they are 1099 independent contractors, payroll taxes are not paid by the brokerage so agents have to pay about 20-30% out of the portion of the commission they get to Uncle Sam for income taxes, depending on their tax bracket and individual tax situation of course.

What's more, these contracts were never recorded before or during the foreclosure process, and the homeowner was actually in default on the first mortgage when they entered into these agreements.

This entire process takes 5 minutes, not including the time it takes to video the home.

Overland Park, KS vs Kansas City, MO) Very landlord friendly, worst case eviction is usually 8 weeks + $500 + lost rent (cannot comment on individual cases and this is not legal advice) Large diverse metro area - variety of jobs, companies, people can have a career in KC.

My sister is a broker, so she is helping educate me about some of the processes. 

feeling on every one of them at some point in the process.
