I would like to buy multiple properties and not have to set aside a large portion of my earnings for the man.

If so, that portion running parallel to the road should be in a ROW, perhaps a public one.

Well the first thing is to describe WHAT you are looking for.All these people here are recommending contacts but you haven't mentioned what you want to buy - asset class, what size deal, what areas ( Texas is a big state............ : ), etc.You need to have a clear understanding of what you want and are trying to do and communicate that effectively on the phone.

Not knowing details and size, ARV's, etc.

. $2,839 total cost to remodel bathroom.Very nice. most bathrooms that size run at least $3,000 and up to $6,000 to remodel.

But because I am a licensed broker (bypassing the salesperson portion) I've been trying to think through how I would possibly go about starting an independent broker agency.

Below is a portion of an email I am sending him asking him to confirm/verify my numbers. 

To flip the house, a full dormer on the upstairs to put a bath on the second floor and increase the size of the two small bedrooms would probably be wise while doing the roof.  

I took my test the other day and passed the state portion but failed the national portion.

On top of this, there is a $99 - $249 - $399 PER MONTH fee (depending on the property size) the landlords pay to advertise on the site.
