Some may have a culture they are trying to perpetuate or may not hire because they think you are a liability, but they will usually hire just about anyone.I would go ahead and start talking to brokers now to have something lined up for as soon as you are licensed.Also, you should think about your goals when picking a broker.  

As of right this minute there 378 HUD owned homes for sale in the State of Florida...Everything from a 4/2 in Jacksonville for under $ 20,000, to a large Victorian in Walt Disney's "hometown America" community of Celebration, FL for just under $ 400,000.If you are a new investor, find a Realtor that is HUD approved and take a look at the diversity of what HUD has for sale.

@Jay Hinrichs , I took a 6-week vacation in Europe in Sept/Oct last year, partially because it was overdue, and partially to celebrate (and enjoy) the success of the strong cash flow coming off my 4plex, along with a good purchase of 2 SFH a few months before I left.

Perfect weather, every type of entertainment and amusement in the world, cultural events, beautiful beaches, world class universities and medical care, etc.

I lived in Crucita for a few years but now live full time in San Clemente where we are starting our condo development project.It's definitely worth coming back especially if you already have a feel for Ecuador and if the lifestyle and culture resonated with you.

The culture at KW is very different from other companies.
