@nicholausmeyer Semper Fi, im going to shoot you a friend request since you seem worth talking to. im currently stationed in Hawaii, but just left recruiting duty where i was stationed in Springfield

I have been working non stop like a dog for the last 5 years growing a national recruiting office for my company.  

If you are trying to recruit outside of your state be careful of SEC rules. 

Our visitors would say how "neat" and "cute"/ "quaint" the community was and really liked the space as the whole tiny houses concept is hot these days.So, we reached out to a local college business school and recruited some students to do a market study for us and found that we just might be able to make the tiny space concept work on this property.Instead of spending a lot of dollars to sweep the property and build it from scratch (never-mind finagling the financing for such an undertaking), we were able to spend a fraction of the cost to renovate these units with a great response and a good return.In addition to learning that the tiny home concept may work for many demographics, we also found that the 55 and older community may be very receptive to these types of units.

Realize that some of these companies get a 10% residual for recruiting you.

I received a recruiting call a few weeks from a "bigger" firm than my current brokerage, and I couldn't help but laugh.

This is because all the young engineers want to live in the city, and if your startup isn't in SF, you essentially can't find young engineers (which means you're stuck paying about double for the ancient 30-50 year olds).I know a couple medium-sized startups (200-500 people) outside of SF that are forced to bring in 50-100 engineering summer interns each year, hoping to recruit a few of them after college. 

I don't know much about them personally, but they tried to recruit my wife after she got her realtor license.  

The past 10 years of my career have been spent in the healthcare and recruiting industries guiding individuals through important decision making processes.

Being that I am not coming from a top university with any real estate recruiting I have failed to even get the opportunity to interview with any real estate developers.
