Every time I research to find a new passive income stream I end up reading about starting a blog or youtube channel with advertisements, selling a course or a book and affiliate marketing websites, its like a broken record and I can't get excited about any of them. 

I’m not affiliated with either company, just reporting companies that have come through for me with great rates and competent staff to handle multiple simultaneous loans.  

Check out this FB group of southern NM investors (no affiliation), maybe you can find some help there.  

Shop around before hiring a consultant.I saw a consumer forum where homeowners share their experiences, loansafe.org.I have no affiliation with that site.

Some banks offer an affiliated brokerage or wealth management service.

Sometimes just offering to pay (or share some if your commission) is enough to entice an independent to say “yes”.3) Regardless of whether they are affiliated with a franchise, or they are an independent, every broker will have to carry you in their E&O Insurance if you hang your license with them.

Are there affiliate companies we can house our license (s) under while running an  essentially independent brokerage?

Hi @Nina Nation I'd be happy to introduce you to one of our RE/MAX affiliates in the Jackson area if you'd like.

i tried the Halo for my place in PCB, but it was running the batteries down in about 2 weeks each time. ended up switching to Schlage Encode, which also connects with my OwnerRez and made the whole unique keycode operation for guests automatic. and my current batteries over 90% 6 months later (6 months of full rentals)

Declaimer: I am not affiliated to either but I have listened to both.
