(no affiliation other than as satisfied customer)

So, I have lots to learn here from all of you :) I am just starting out looking into the process of obtaining a realtor's license (affiliate broker) here in Tennessee.

YOU MUST READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC BEFORE INVESTING.ALL SECURITIES WILL BE ISSUED BY BUILDING BITS PROPERTIES I, LLC, AN AFFILIATE OF BUILDING BITS HOLDINGS, LLC.

However, i've spoken to some folks who think that the agent and their affiliated offices make a huge difference in finding tenants. 

I will tell you that in my experience major hotel franchise affiliates have very few negative surprises, while accommodations rented from private individuals have many more.  

The main things I look for when dealing with any professional in my own investing is (1) would I want to affiliate myself with this person and work with them, and (2) do they have experience in my field.

However, I am not of the "cronies" affiliation.

If you go through an affiliate website such as Morris Invest, you can get $500 off and pay $3,500 instead of $4,000 (which is still a bit steep).

“A licensed real estate salesperson may obtain an additional real estate salesperson license and become affiliated with an additional licensed real estate broker as a real estate salesperson, if the salesperson: (1) obtains, from an additional licensed real estate broker, a commitment providing that the salesperson shall become affiliated with the broker as a real estate salesperson on the granting of an additional real estate salesperson license to the salesperson; (2) gives each real estate broker with whom the salesperson currently is affiliated written notice that the salesperson intends to affiliate with an additional real estate broker; and (3) complies with the application procedures under subsection (j) of this section.”

Insurance picked up the tab, but the insurance company (even 3 years later) will not allow us back on a policy...Unfortunate, because they were a great insurance company...one of those smaller affiliates owned by the big dogs, but the rates were cheaper.
