If you are an agent you need to check your IC agreement (independent contractor) to see what the brokerage allows or doesn't allow for real estate activity.

The thing I like best about working independently in real estate is that it is my choice (as long as my wife's ok with it ;) ).

You'll be an independent contractor so no 9-5 job BS and it would also assist in your investing.

Ask for someone that can do an independent study.Finally, Listen to people in the industry.

It would probably be cheaper to find properties independently, but if you're just starting a solid broker who will help you walk through the steps might be a good choice.

I would set each person using your magnets as independent contractors the same way that the Avon reps or other door to door contractors are setup.

Your housing costs are covered (if you find a place with good cash flow and efficient use of space) and you are able to become more independent - a win/win.Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about anything!

I live in Independence, mo just outside of KCMO.

If you have just that total of 4 properties, maybe go to an independant mortgage broker in your area.

I would either ask your current insurance agent, if you can walk into their office, or speak with an independent agent about your options.
