The attorney's went after the "low hanging fruit", i.e., the other owner.

Whole grains and fruit I guess are talked about these days... organic is fashionable but seriously we are what we eat, if we work hard we deserve to eat better.

If it's to just buy investment property and you have full time income or already a full time investor living off of the cash flow and want a license then YES fees will be minimal.If you want to do transactions and being an agent will be your full time gig then you will need 6 months of reserves of your average bills to survive.The attrition rate in the first year of survival for agents is a failure of over 90 percent.Main reason is they do not understand the difference between working for the man and getting a check and BEING THE MAN and running their own business to generate revenue.This and the under capitalization of the business leads to failure.These 2 reasons account for most of the failures.

I think this is the hardest thing for agents to do.

Welcome to BP @Tara McFadden There is a forum specifically for agents.

No need for agent or anything like that.  

@Robert Burns,Think "low hanging fruit".

I will add to the previous post...look for agents that works with investors...in my experience many agents (not all) only want to work with folks that has cash on hand...many will not look at other options to receive their commission....I work with many agents and my standards are very high...KEEP UR WORD and don't take all day to return a phone call

Do your homework, learn the fundamentals and your networking experiences with experienced local investors will be much more fruitful.

They may be fine, but I would use Listsource.com which is provided by CoreLogic - probably the single biggest data provider to the real estate and mortgage industries.YellowLetters.com is a good choice for the mailings; they've really expanded their options for agents.
