You need to be able to talk with strangers over the phone or in person to build rapport.

So if you support the "tax the rich" movement you should be applauding tariff's because that "tax" is felt a thousand times more on the person buying a G6 or Lambo than on the person buying Domino's and Diapers.

i have seen many do very well getting on a team.Myself personally I would concentrate on listings 1000%  Buyers only if well knownand wont waste your time. 

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

I think I can open another personal checking account at the bank I already have and it'll be under my name but i'm trying to buy out of state rentals with an LLC I own.

To answer your question directly: a person should apply (whatever that means in your process) before being asked to screen.
