I will continue to do what I have been doing for a decade and a half.

We just found one that’s moonlighting on the weekends at about half the going rate.

I would just be spending half as much and getting half as much equity.

Could you work half as much and still make the same money? 

Also, half of all LLCs get thrown out in court because they aren't managed correctly.

Egress: Two methods of egress, typically a door and a window.Ceiling height: At least half of the room should have a ceiling height of 7 feet.

Another odd thing was the same buyer added a second option of a cash purchase that was close to half the asking price.

You could probably get a half dozen from the other posters here like Tom.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.
