Bad combinationI remember talking to them about how we could "enhance the screening" for the Section 8 properties they're doing, and they pushed back saying they legally need to maintain the same set of standards for all their applicant screening, Section 8 or not.

What if you don't know the sexual orientation of your tenants and you rent to people of the same sex but one or more of them are gay?

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writ...

I like the idea of using leverage to enhance returns, although I have been told by local agents (and wholesellers) that financial institutions are not going to work with new investors on purchasing their first property.

I then proposed that they list their home under my account so that the ratings/reviews on our two properties would enhance each other's property, which would result in increased bookings for both of us. 

IMO, the costs and continuing requirements, office meetings and all that goes on really doesn't enhance investing, but the education does.If you know alot of people and are good with the public, sales as a Realtor can be a great business.

As a new agent, I am looking for counsel and suggestions on which Managing Broker to join in order to enhance my education and progression in the real estate sector.

<<No 'bitterness' or 'disillusionment' there -- just a valid OFFER of OPPORTUNITY.But I'll tell you what raises my hackles -- the 'fantasy' (first started by gurus, then enhanced by reality TV shows, and unfortunately still propagated by some posters here) that any form of real estate investing can be SIMPLE or EASY.That's like telling some schmo with a typewriter and a mastery of the alphabet that he can create a bestselling novel!
