===================================Yes, there are many more, with decisions that go both ways, that we can play the "case study" game for years with the "I'll see your two veil piercings and raise you an appellate reversal".

Then, with the basement finish out - you have added value to create a 4th bedroom (or media room, game room, office, whatever)

Kelly I looked at recruiting agent for my firm years ago.At one point I did an active campaign and had about 45 agents at my firm at one time.I have found most agents feel entitled or won't follow the steps you tell them to be successful.They will skip some steps because they are lazy and want to "get rich quick" like the rest of the population which is why so many fail.If I add an agent say on a 70/30 split then I have to take time from my own deals where I make 100 percent to make 30 with them.The training and getting over their mindset takes so much more time than me doing my own deals.This is why I have only 7 agents right now.I got rid of the rest.Many companies try the 100 percent model but you get either new agents having no experience,part-time agents who are rusty,child support demands,irs tax liens,license lapses for education and or non-payment of dues etc.It is a huge headache to keep up with for a low return.If you go the other route you can train new agents for a fat split before they leave the business or train a select few agents that you want to feed leads to on your team.I just focus now on my own investment purchases and my own commercial listings.

But I do kinda agree with people in that you shouldn't mandate it.Would it be possible to have a very large archive of professional looking avatars and randomly select a new one for each user?

I agree that a agent doesn't have your best interest in selecting a good tenant.

Getting new investors questions answered and helping them select the best property that fits their criteria.

I am in that phase where I am reading and learning as much as I can and trying to figure out exactly how I want to "get into the game."

In any other deal a lender is going to want to see "skin in the game".

Costs for an LLC w/ S Election - you need to pay the annual fee for both an LLC and a C Corp (approx. $775 in Mass)Costs for a C Corp w/ S Election - only need to pay the C Corp annual fee (approx. $125 in Mass).Are there any other legal differences?

With two rentals, you're already ahead of the game and are well on your way.
