I had him do a number of smaller jobs like hanging a light, installing a sink/disposal and handful of other small plumbing items.

The branches of the tree hang over my tenants parking spots and they have complained that smaller branches have fallen and scratched their car, as well as a larger branch falling and taking out a section of fencing.

You obviously have the right to pursue some form of recourse with the past contractor but is it really worth it with a potential sale hanging in the balance?

That's the best thing you could do at your age besides hanging out on BP.

The downside to becoming your own agent is that you will have a fair amount of expenses associated with hanging your license and you will essentially be hiring a newbie (yourself). 

I want to get some feedback and advice on my next steps to see if this makes sense.This will be longer post so thanks for hanging in there!

My wife just got licensed as a agent and is hanging her hat at a brokerage that is offering 50/50 on her first deals (which she is getting from me because I have hot leads from my side of the biz)This brokerage owner is a prospect referral partner of mine, but have not received any deals.

How do I find the most prevalent ones in my chosen markets.Also, I have called many brokers but I keep being sent to voice mail with no call back or no answer at all (pick up-hang up)

My only hang up here is a little analysis paralysis, and knowing that I myself wouldn't want to live in the one unit that's coming available without a little updating.

You know how many people hang up the phone on me on a daily basis?
