Dominic, you mentioned not being able to scale my business using Shopify as opposed to Wordpress.

When my business partner and I were still flipping we bought a couple through Auction.com and we always used a private money lender to fund those and our other flips. 

And technology aside, this business hasn't changed much in the last 20 years.

Be honest with them if that is what you are doing though so you don't waste their time if they are busy.

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

A good REI bookkeeper will help keep everything neat and tidy throughout the year so you can make educated decisions in your business, potentially creating more profit and less headaches.

Looking to get that cash back as soon as possible to use it to fund my business.

We hope to hear from you soon and we appreciate your business.

What aspect of their business, the property managment software or investment management software.

I would say my end goals would be some financial independence and also some business knowledge through transactions.
