Sales associates only allowed to work under an active real estate brokerage (RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Century 21, etc for your big name brand or you can go with the local boutique mom and pop office).

Did I mention she had a magnetic Century 21 sign on her car door? 

Running #'s just looking at properties in and out of state (I live in Las Vegas), I do not really understand how pure cash flow (even a small amount) is possible given these current loan interest rates unless you find the deal of the century. 

I love much of the mid-century style, but some of that furniture isn't all comfortable.

The Economist has written on this syndrome; "This time it is different" Eight centuries of financial folly.

To think that we know what's coming next because "x" happened a century or a half-century ago is nonsensical. 

Toledo has been on the downswing since the early 20th century. 

This included stating house purchases were primary residences, when they were not; lying about sources of down payments; falsely showing higher sale prices on purchase contracts and having the seller “refund” the difference outside of closing; having “straw buyer” utilize VA or FHA eligibility and then filing a warranty deed change; “trading” near worthless recreational land at ridiculously high valuations; “silent” seller carryback seconds; and slipping in subordination and substitution of collateral clauses into trust deed documents (when seller financing) without those being part of the purchase contract.Most of this ended when the Federal Gov started indicting people for mortgage fraud.More restrictive financing terms, consumer protection laws, due on sale mortgage clauses, proof of funds and mortgage pre approvals have made a true ”no cash” purchase much more difficult to achieve and much more uncommon today, nearly half a century later.Yet, it’s still possible.  

I'm a real estate agent for Century 21.

Do I have to work for a corporation like 21st Century, etc. or can I find an independent broker?
