When we asked for updated bank statements, updated paystubs, a 2 day old baby chicken, and to source a large deposit, at 7 AM, she sent all the paperwork within 5 minutes and had a courier bring us the 2 day old baby chicken within 30 minutes. 

you don't think a robot can make fries and hamburgers nowadays?

Personally I'm not sure that I would ever do it on my own residence, but it doesn't seem like a bad solution for rental properties where every penny is being pinched as @Mark Fries suggested. 

I would take my chances and the belief that the IRS has bigger fish to fry.

The property manager asked if we were ok with a veterinarian applicant who is bringing 5 small dogs, 1 regular size poodle and 5 chickens. 

There's right around zero chance you'd get in trouble for that since the IRS has much bigger fish to fry. 

So it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, but this is why "new agent 101" is to have agents tell everyone they know about the fact that they are now an agent.Lastly, if you do direct marketing to sellers for the primary purpose of buying their house, and you get responses but the selling is asking too much, you can try to convert those people to listings (along the lines of maybe, "I can help you in multiple ways", one by buying myself, another by listing if you prefer a higher price but a longer wait, etc.).Good luck and let us know how it goes of course!

WOW, Chicken or the egg.
