My best friends mom was a high-powered broker in the Lake Tahoe area, and one of her colleagues was murdered while showing a house after dark.

I know there is a lot of inventory still out there as well as shadow inventory, but I see signs of improvement in my area.

Not exactly a shot in the dark.

Really looking for help deciding if dark floors and oil rubbed bronze sells better or grey flooring and brushed nickel is the better option.

@Rob ShahAs someone who has been investing out of state for years, the best advice that I can give you is to shadow those who have done it successfully. 

I think I can demonstrate without any shadow of a doubt that the company has the capacity to pay the lease.

Glad you came out of the shadows Jesse.

I've seen people use marketing fees to try to get around this and I have not heard of any problems with that, but it is still on a very dark gray vector especially if you are getting any payment in result of performance and not just for consistent effort (like per call, or per house that you market to even if it doesn't close or result in a purchase).Have you considered getting a RE license?

Just taking a shot in the dark for some advice besides "just talk to the landlord".

I would get dark washcloths embroidered with Makeup on them so people have them for removal instead of using your white towels.So, fill in some blanks and I can help more.
