I have owned 3 different RE brokerage companies over the past 40 years and that's the stat's for AGents coming in to the business 10% will make a darn nice carrer out of it another 40% will do Ok and keep at it on and off over the years the rest come and go..

As for agents, I have two personal friends that are local agents, so I think I might be good to go.

Drop me a message, and let's spark some fruitful conversations!

With the grace and mercy of GOD I will own my 1st Real Estate Investment property before the end of this year this will be 1 of many as I plan on retiring early so that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor and help others where needed 

Everyone forgets, the MLS is a database for agents, for agents to communicate to each other and attract buyers, not for the public.

Instead, you'll have a higher number of unqualified leads... which is great for agents as this is future business... but... it doesn't usually help sell the unit. 

Wishing you a safe and fruitful remainder of the year.

However, these properties won't be low hanging fruit.

If there is nothing to be done I focus on lead generation for the marketing firm which has been very fruitful.

If you're new you may have to take the low hanging fruit and deal with some problems and then move up.
