If anyone needs advice/help researching title that is my area of expertise primarily in Texas but many of the concepts translate.

A lot of the properties we've looked at recently for rentals had a pretty big (and often unwarranted) jump in the tax appraisal value from 2014 to 2015, translating to higher property taxes.

The fact that I as a fund or institutional investor received a discount does not translate into a similar discount in re-trade downstream.

The bank cashing a check, regardless of what's written on it, doesn't alter any loan doc.s.

I hope that it translates into many successful real estate transactions.

I googled project management agreement and basically started with a template and altered while sitting down with the investor.

Is this nightmare translated to the property investor as well?

So if I were to recruit you to Keller Williams and you sell a house and earn a commission and your office makes a profit that month, I would get a profit sharing check based on that sale from that office, but does not affect your commission in any way - it's hard to explain.That disclosure out of the way - in Kansas City, for any new agent traditional or investor, I would spend at least a year, probably two in a Keller Williams office.1) They have the best training for agents in Kansas City2) They have the best training to teach you how to run a business and market that business - that translates very well to the investor.3) They don't have board duty or quotes, many of the big companies do.I think every new agent should learn how to do their job correctly, whether they intend to be a traditional agent or not, and KW will teach you that and they also teach how to run your business like a business, very helpful for a new investor.If I were picking offices I would go with the one closest to your home or your day job so you can make their training classes.Once you are experienced, I would say stay with KW for at least 3 years so you can become vested (It was 3 years when I was there and I was there for about 6 years), so you to can bring in new agents and earn profit sharing.They also have an amazing back office and tools to run your realtor business, that again works for the investor too.If you already know what you are doing, then I would probably be looking at Chartwell, Platinum or Kansas City Regional Homes for 100% commission offices.Reece and Nichols usually does not want you unless you are a traditional agent and meeting their quotas.

Austin, like Dallas has a booming economy with great job and population growth, however, that doesn't necessarily translate to a good market for rentals.

I started out charging it back to people - essentially adding it to their booking by listing it in the house rules and then going back with an alteration.
