It would be a great way to learn your way into REI and they might feel less threatened by your ambition to get into REI than working for someone that will eventually be your competitor.  

If you have some weird other license, like I do in MA...it can be with someone else, but the internal rules of my brokerage do not allow me to hang it with a competitor, thus that one needs to be with a brokerage that only operates in MA and not in other states.

He didn't have a chance because all of his competitors were enhanced!

I certainly educated many of my investors but certainly not as to specifics as all I'd end up doing would be losing an investor and gaining a competitor!

Given this area is particularly close to Trinity Mills, there are a number of competitors in this exact same area, so it does have a large pull of renters.

We are friendly competitors with them in Memphis and I have nothing but good things to say about their service and their products.Good luck to you!

1) Good training2) Broker to be available 12 hours a day to answer questions3) Low Brokerage/Desk Fees4) Low Transaction Fees5) Owner/Broker or Record to not be trading (me personally) I would not like my broker of record to be my competitor in the market.

And perhaps, there will be another competitor that comes along and if they have a smoother platform, faster/better customer service, better support tools for both guests and hosts, lower fees, and equal or more choices, then they can overtake AirBnB.

Rob you know, since the problem of housing has become a political problem in African countries, it is very difficult to go to your competitors dde to ask anything, you may find yourself in the headlines.

Seeing a lot of what other people did will give you an idea of your competitors and perhaps what the buyers are looking for in that area.
