I also found that they'd give me little hints, since they rather wanted the double commission, instead of having the sale go to another agent.So, it depends on your market and also how comfortable you'd be not having an agent, who is looking out for your own interest.

(hint: you might have to actively ask them for feedback .. more than once .. most of the time that a wholesaler sends me an unrealistic prospect, I don't have the time to write them a response detailing all of the reasons the deal they just sent me isn't really a deal .. not to mention, most people don't like having their ideas, thoughts, preconceptions, business models etc. challenged. most are offended by this. so unless they come right out and ask me why I'm not making offers or responding to their prospects or a particular deal, I don't usually say anything)

Although family members have hinted around at being able to oversee property for me if need be, I think hiring family is a bad idea.

Hint: (more professional style of dressing).Something as simple as a solid color golf shirt with your company logo and a pair of well pressed tan pants might go along way--because first impressions count.Nothing wrong with what you have on in the picture, (for a backyard BBQ or etc...), but it is possible if you're trying to do money business, a little more professionalism might help.Then again maybe not, because you still have to find and get to know people you can partner with.Good Luck!

But still, I wouldn't give my business to someone who gives me hints that he's not that interested.

Hint: If you can somehow have some shade on the compressor it will add life to the unit, because it doesn't have to work so hard to transfer the heat outside. 

Hint; if there are lots of hotels nearby it's probably a good bet.

Implicit in any human relationship should be a hint of quid pro quo. 

Initial focus is on single family homes for investors who are looking for income and those looking to partner for flips.Any suggestions, pointers, and hints will be appreciated.

They hinted towards the lower number b/c they get 6%..I saw this link and description and I wanted to get your opinion.
