For ages, the golden rule of real estate was, "they're not making any more land," and the corollary was, "real estate prices don't fall."

I am a marketing adviser for agents and brokers, but you won't see me selling anything here.

MLS for agents is usually a compilation of website info.  

Use these figures, adjust for age, and plan your savings for capx. 

So if I were to recruit you to Keller Williams and you sell a house and earn a commission and your office makes a profit that month, I would get a profit sharing check based on that sale from that office, but does not affect your commission in any way - it's hard to explain.That disclosure out of the way - in Kansas City, for any new agent traditional or investor, I would spend at least a year, probably two in a Keller Williams office.1) They have the best training for agents in Kansas City2) They have the best training to teach you how to run a business and market that business - that translates very well to the investor.3) They don't have board duty or quotes, many of the big companies do.I think every new agent should learn how to do their job correctly, whether they intend to be a traditional agent or not, and KW will teach you that and they also teach how to run your business like a business, very helpful for a new investor.If I were picking offices I would go with the one closest to your home or your day job so you can make their training classes.Once you are experienced, I would say stay with KW for at least 3 years so you can become vested (It was 3 years when I was there and I was there for about 6 years), so you to can bring in new agents and earn profit sharing.They also have an amazing back office and tools to run your realtor business, that again works for the investor too.If you already know what you are doing, then I would probably be looking at Chartwell, Platinum or Kansas City Regional Homes for 100% commission offices.Reece and Nichols usually does not want you unless you are a traditional agent and meeting their quotas.

Hello Everyone, Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I am posting here in search of forming long lasting relationships with agents who consistently acquire solid investment deals. I am currently working wit...

I emailed back that I was unaware of any agreement I had with HUD on marketing my interest in the properties and asked them to send me what section I'm "violating".The only advertising guidelines I have seen are for agents/brokers marketing HUD properties to be put under contract between HUD and that Buyer.
