The fact of the matter is that real estate is a long game and expenses will come up. 

Instead of throwing your deal out to a bunch of strangers on the internet, I recommend you do your research to find a local expert with 20+ ACTIVE years in real estate in your market.

Also, dont work with big internet lenders like rocket, lending tree, etc.

I have personally advertised in Realty 411 its a real publication and as I stated  Linda I have know for over a decade personally and I am real I have 50 years in the real estate game..

It was great to get our heads in the game, and got us to move quicker to get a house (since we were basically forced to get a pre-approved loan in order to tour houses...).

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

Yes, we pay a fee for the coaching, that many of us feel is fully worth the cost, maybe having "skin-in-game" makes us more likely to take action and be excited about the company, but that is for you to decide. 

All depends on what your goals are and what market fits your game-plan/criteria 

My local cable, internet, cell and utility companies are already using it to field calls and answer questions online and phone.
