I like your logic here (outside the casket).Moderator(s): in my last post above the name of the well-known website that specializes in conducting auctions for government agencies was obscured.

I'm a newly minted agent myself and the feeling is a mix of accomplishment and anxiety as I start to implement a lead generation model.I would suggest interviewing multiple brokerages and keep in mind that you are the one evaluating the agency every bit as much as they are evaluating you (read: don't approach it as a job interview where the focus is on selling yourself to an employer).Also, if you're like me, my goal is to become an investor and not just a career agent, so the resources the brokerage can provide you in terms of education, training, mentorship, etc. are more important than a large commission split.

I just passed the state broker exam this morning and starting to interview different agencies in the western burbs.

My issue really is finding websites or the location (even names) of government agencies other investors implement in their search and valuation process of a property.

The brokerage agency gets a cut of your commissions and you may well have to pay them a 'desk fee' or similar for facilities and to pay for errors and omissions insurance.

The reason they may be willing to pay higher rents is because the large rental companies allow the credit reporting agencies to make their decisions for them.

Did you study the dry stuff, like deeds, how title is held, contract law, laws of agency, Mo.

There are many agencies that are happy to have investor agents work for them.

Eventually the bank or some government agency will put it on the market.  

Have you notified any regulatory agency?
