Technically, you are not actively working with clients, but you can refer people who are looking to buy or sell to an active agent and get a 25%-30% referral fee on any commissions generated.

What are your thoughts on bigger, brand name movers coming in to an already active market?

Besides investing in real estate, I manage an app I developed called the Herd which brings in a decent income, I work for a leasing company between classes, I bartend on the weekend, and I help out on the family farm.

Now that he is in-school and has basic arithmetic skills, he periodically checks how much more he needs to make a down-payment on his first {rental} house  {being a minor, he cannot borrow on his own and definitely is not eligible for a high-ratio, insured mortgage, so he will need a 20% down-payment and the bank of Mom & Dad if he still wants to purchase a house when he has the funds}.We also use routine activities such as grocery shopping or fuelling the car/truck to discuss budgeting and how much it costs to run a household - at an age appropriate level.

My guess is that the next year will see a lot of producers exiting the business and some consolidation (m&a) activity. 

@Aziz Raji Looking forward to being a more active BiggerPockets addition.

,Thank you Sir, did you wait to retire to pursue your investment interests or did you flip/keep/ get your license while active?

@John Lee interesting question and as an active duty Marine officer I have some insight into this situation.

@Vincent GarmanHi Vincent, are you still active in investment properties in and around Dover?

@Craig Oram: Hi Craig, it's been a very active market but getting your hands on MF, etc is incredibly competitive and there aren't a ton just hanging around.
