I used broker physical fuels...bad or new traders would treat rail cars or vessels of diesel like trading contracts/paper.

I have a broker so looking for unsolicited mentor advice  hopefully there are other like minded folks that like to pay it forward. 

However, I shudder at the popular suggestion to sell some of your investments for tax purposes, often coming from commission-based brokers and financial advisors.

I am working on my RE license for VA and see some gov contracts where JLL "is the Commonwealth’s contracted real estate broker for current real estate services, including with respect to the acquisition or lease of real property and the disposition of surplus real property." 

I am experiencing the same issue and I have professional photos, using a reputable real estate broker, and in a very rental friendly market.

For a partnership where you're providing all labor and the broker is funding the deal, a fair split typically ranges from 30-50% for you and 50-70% for the broker, depending on the value and complexity of your labor versus the financial risk they're taking.

New Construction builds from builders like DR are typically the only ones who beat Mortgage Broker pricing on VA loans.

I know it's not particularly close to Altoona, but where we do business in Pittsburgh we use Broker's Settlement Services.

I also am an investor and real-estate broker.

While it is rare, there are situations where a Broker is not a member of an MLS.
