Examine the appraisal with your agent and if the comps make sense, I recommend that your agent go back to seller and renegotiate to appraised value.

My goal is to pass the TX Real Estate Exam in CYQ2.

Your referrence to, "come with a book of business" equalling your 8 current doors, isn't really much.A one-man company needs at least 50-75 doors, in most markets, to scratch out a living as a PMC, preferrably 100+.We've got clients with 30+ doors and there's no way we would consider partnering with them and giving them a percentage of our company.So, you may want to re-examine your expectations a bit:)

I was wondering because I took an exam in something complete different and it was the exact same test 6 months later.

(For example: Net Listings are illegal in my state, so do not get too creative without examining the laws of your state first)

My goal is to take the exam in the next couple months. 

Recently, I have passed both real estate courses needed to become an agent in the state of Washington, and will be taking my exam in the next 30 days.  

I used to work with a company that would commission the ROTC and Service Academy initial medical examinations (DoDMERB) and the respect that I have for you young brave people grew daily in that role.Congratulations to you and your team on your success.

Did you examine the pro forma?  

Dodd-Frank is not the only issue, these contracts now have other problems with deed conveyances as seen by ALTA and title examiners, equity being established on statute requiring foreclosure and circumventing foreclosure laws.
