I would like to see some of the fruits now.

@Jack Mitcham  Every market is different however I can tell you on the West coast CA OR WA you can do exactly as I state.Now if your in some smaller market were there are no brokers competing for agents then you might run into that.. in that case get your license work for two years then get your broke and do whatever it is you want to do.However I will tell you I built my business by starting out selling RE the contacts and networking is invaluabl

It is a good place for agents to get leads, and thats about it.

During this rental period paid 6K for agents to procure tenant.Current market value 290K.As my 5/1 ARM term is ending in 6 months, I started to look for refinance options, i checked interest rates, now it's considered investment property so rates are higher, about 4% for 15yr fixed.Can I get some help, this property, should I refinance and keep renting or sell it, how much I'll get if I sell and pay off mortgage, what's options I have.

I am a small contractor and ive done renos for investors and appraisal requirements for agents...looking to work my way into the buying and selling properties end...always seeking investors!

Most of CA is far off the bottom and the easy "easy fruit" is long gone.  

Then refinance as soon as possible to get out of the PMI.Looking for agents is a pain.

Listened to a podcast for agents and BPO's was one of the take away points I got out of it for supplemental income.Sure it's not big money but $50 a pop is handy for the gas. 

Hope you have a fruitful week!  

I haven't gone door to door although I hear and read all the time that it is paramount for success for agents.
