from W2 stand point, depending on what you've majored or what your talent is, i would increase that salary first.

He does extraordinary work at a great price, but I have to plan ahead for him to be able to fit me in his schedule so I'm just shopping around for talent. 

I am trying to understand the dynamics and really the timing sequence of finance/refinance for BRRR and it seems it’s a good amount on the talent/comfort of the broker.Could anyone open dialogue with me on this and discuss sequencing funding for this strategy.

The opportunity to be of value can come in many different ways, and we each have our own talents. i.e. architecture, networking, design, cold calling, and more vs some people work a lot of hours and only have the time to put money into the stock market and look to diversify but dont always know where to go, so the opportunity to build those relationships with people for the long term will always be the way to go in this business. 

Also, keep track of all the parties you run into as you never know when you can use their talents again :)

The reason is management of large properties requires serious expertise, talent and it’s a completely separate and different business. 

I have always been interested in real estate and I think that being a real estate agent will combined all of my talents in business, sales, and management along with my passions of investing and helping others.

Now a few questions...1) What are your skills, talents, and experience? 

(insert polite clapping sounds)I'm sure it must be frustrating that the majority of the world isn't as smart, talented and good with their money as you are, and maybe they need to start being more like you, dammit, so that the next time the world gets blindsided by a virus, the economy melts down and people lose their jobs overnight, they can just keep on paying their rent so honest folks like you aren't affected. 

Jan/Feb/March sales were up about 8-10% over 2019.I think inventory in many price ranges is still tight.So now maybe instead of 10 offers you get 2 or 3.I just saw an article about 600 California companies wanting to move to Texas.Also I don't think Amazon HDQ 2 has worked out like they thought and back looking at Dallas for big office.Also just this week saw info about Goldman Sachs making basically 3rd HDQ in Dallas with nearly all divisions represented and their CEO saying basically that not all financial talent is in NYC and more companies need to understand that.This crisis will pass.
