@Patrick M Nichols sounds reasonable and I shouldn’t be making any exceptions for personal problems.

Hi @David Nichols and @Austin RatchfordI'm in Gainesville and invest here and am looking in Jacksonville and Ocala.

@Nichole Schroth Thanks, I will def check that software out. 

Liz Nichols is the organizer and she provides a lot of valuable info.

So if I were to recruit you to Keller Williams and you sell a house and earn a commission and your office makes a profit that month, I would get a profit sharing check based on that sale from that office, but does not affect your commission in any way - it's hard to explain.That disclosure out of the way - in Kansas City, for any new agent traditional or investor, I would spend at least a year, probably two in a Keller Williams office.1) They have the best training for agents in Kansas City2) They have the best training to teach you how to run a business and market that business - that translates very well to the investor.3) They don't have board duty or quotes, many of the big companies do.I think every new agent should learn how to do their job correctly, whether they intend to be a traditional agent or not, and KW will teach you that and they also teach how to run your business like a business, very helpful for a new investor.If I were picking offices I would go with the one closest to your home or your day job so you can make their training classes.Once you are experienced, I would say stay with KW for at least 3 years so you can become vested (It was 3 years when I was there and I was there for about 6 years), so you to can bring in new agents and earn profit sharing.They also have an amazing back office and tools to run your realtor business, that again works for the investor too.If you already know what you are doing, then I would probably be looking at Chartwell, Platinum or Kansas City Regional Homes for 100% commission offices.Reece and Nichols usually does not want you unless you are a traditional agent and meeting their quotas.

I am somewhat preferential to a smaller broker that is successful and doesn't have a tie to a national real estate company (Reece and Nichols, KW, etc) but that is just me.

Hi Nichole Stohler I will likely be working my W2 job for awhile so I only have so much time.

@Kevin Nichols I've never heard of anything like that.  

Thank you Nichole & Nick for this...
