The day after we bought it, there was a large storm that came through and the power lines caught on fire.  

@Mindy Jensen, @Brandon Turner, @Scott Trench, @Joshua DorkinWith 700,000 members now any thoughts on having enough fire power in the Pro Membership sub-grouping of that where you could negotiate credit union membership for Pro Members.

Didn't help.When we went in to do the eviction EVERYTHING was present in the house (including food in the fridge although the power had been shut off for nonpayment the week before); not a pleasant experience in the middle of summer in Georgia. 

Talk to a lender if you haven't already done so and get pre-approved so you know exactly what your purchasing power is.FYI - This property has actually been on the market for several months. 

@Jamarcus Joseph Yes, education is always powerful.

This year though through the power of leverage, I want to double my portfolio. to 30 units, will see how that goes.

Secondly, my business partner and I are both career women (girl power!)

If you want it to *really* work and rent out your 9 empties, power-charge what’s working.

So it may be a blessing in disguise, but wanted to check with the brain trust.I'm more leaning towards letting it be as the supplemental insurance would be an additional hit and as much as I'd like the extra 40K of spending power, I wasn't sure if it was worth it to add the supplemental insurance on top of the already expensive flood insurance.Thanks!!

Generally a successful agent has more negotiating power but some offices use the split as a way to get new agents into the office.I would agree with @Patrisha Leybovich that Keller Williams is a good brokerage: lots of freedom and lots of opportunity to learn.
