Firstly welcome and you really should not be paying for education that you learn hands and your own independent research.

., if you are up for the challenge I would be happy to assist in your quest to achieving home ownership and create a path to financial independence.

By working under a broker, you don't necessarily work for them as most agents are independent and do their own thing but you work under their supervision.

I would say it will depend on the broker, But Exit, and Remax have a pretty good hold on the REO side as Franchises go, Im independent, the non Franchise offices generally have more flexibility, but less training. as far as Law firms, Mallory & Zimmerman, reps for Associated bank in Foreclosures, my interaction with them has been good, and they seem to know what they are doing.  

I'm Justin I work at presale engineer for business company for 12 years, I want to work without a traditional employer’s workspace, well, works for me on many levels-flexibility, autonomy, and not having to ask anyone...

My first Brokerage was a small independent firm, where there was no training but offered one-on-one support which I now know is even more helpful.  

Most independent contractor work will allow you to setup a Solo 401k plan.

They will be listed under the independent school districts. 

Try rent estimator websites like Zilpy and/or get confirmation of the rental prices from an independent source.  

Also, for those of you who want to work with builders in the future, always require a COST PLUS contract.Make Time an irrelivant factor, and get at least 5 quotes on the time.State specifically the man hours will be based on the average of the 5 independant quotes, and add the materials cost to it, plus the margin, which 10-15% is a good margin for them because you are a built in buyer.Watch how fast they finish, and how much cheaper your average unit is compared to the average RE investor.You'll thank me later.
