I have a great desire to start my own Real Estate Agency.

I know that joining the local Central Arkansas Real Estate Investors Agency is a good way to start.

So I have 2-3 months until I can get my license.Do you recommend that I approach RE agencies now and get things rolling?

I worked for a direct response TV advertising agency so a lot of the basics are the same.

This was put in a 6.5% 5 year balloon note and would not be reported to my credit agency from a local home town bank.

So with insurance through my insurance agency, I should be fine?

All the other income guidelines I saw were with respect to a specific grant or need program, so in both cases that applies to the specific agency policies but is not federal law that applies to fair housing standards LL must follow.

We have been listening to some advice about changing commission structures for real estate agencies.
