It's not paying your bills or providing your with gas money (your cash flow does that...more on that in a second)...so if you have a use for that equity, meaning you can leverage it to gain MORE investment properties, then who cares what the fees are?

There is tax benefits to doing it that way as well.

No brainer...I highly recommend new agents focus on gaining knowledge and building a book of business during their first year.

The knowledge to be gained from this site is limitless and I can't get enough.
