Hi all,

I live in NJ and I am looking for recommendations on Agents in the Hudson County and Union County. Union most specifically Linden area.

Hello! Wondering if any agents out there have advice on whether to hire an accountant or use software to track expenses. I'm not opposed to hiring this out, but want to be smart with my money - which may include hirin...

@amber lead generation is the number 1 issue for agents so it makes sense they are going over it. 

Donald Cressey is The Fraud Triangle: 1- A perceived unshareable financial need. 2- Perceived opportunity. 3- Rationalization.Financial pressures change in life, medical care for aging parents, a family member becomes ill, college costs, mid-life crisis, substance addictions and gambling, jealousy/feeling "owed" or wronged, social pressures to "get ahead"...The biggest losses are always where there are no checks & balances, no separation of duties, no policies and procedures in place. 

I'm not sure what its like in Texas but in some areas I know nearly every agent is a Realtor (Hawaii) and in others its much more common for agents to not be members (Washington).

Congratulation on your decision to "step out", after being in conventional real estate for so long, it is a big decision to want to be more productive, earn more, and build a portfolio of profitable properties as a real estate investor.It is difficult however for agents/brokers to change hats, to forget the old ways of doing the conventional real estate business and to get educated on the creative ways to control and roll real estate.I commend your decision to do so.One Broker to another, if you need some suggestions, just give me a call.Good luck.

@Jack Mitcham  Every market is different however I can tell you on the West coast CA OR WA you can do exactly as I state.Now if your in some smaller market were there are no brokers competing for agents then you might run into that.. in that case get your license work for two years then get your broke and do whatever it is you want to do.However I will tell you I built my business by starting out selling RE the contacts and networking is invaluabl

It is a good place for agents to get leads, and thats about it.

During this rental period paid 6K for agents to procure tenant.Current market value 290K.As my 5/1 ARM term is ending in 6 months, I started to look for refinance options, i checked interest rates, now it's considered investment property so rates are higher, about 4% for 15yr fixed.Can I get some help, this property, should I refinance and keep renting or sell it, how much I'll get if I sell and pay off mortgage, what's options I have.

I am a small contractor and ive done renos for investors and appraisal requirements for agents...looking to work my way into the buying and selling properties end...always seeking investors!
