There’s a lot to cover here, so i’ll try to just hit a few key points.First, regarding the number of firms that open up, most of these that you see are small one or two person mortgage brokerage shops that are easy to start up.  

Occupancy is a key factor in your negotiations.

Darrell,Sorry for being late to this thread, but as a fellow Chicagoan, I wanted to ask what was the key that made you decide to switch to focus on something that is not what you want to do in the end?
