I am not looking for people to toss me their business cards, so to speak, I'm more looking for references to these folks.

I heard Sean Snaith from UCF speak last week at the National Entrepreneur Center regarding the economy... if some don't see the correction coming then they are not looking.

Personally speaking I realized its much more profitable and flexible when you are on the investing non traditional side of the fence. 

When I was initially trying to sort this all out it was really frustrating as I felt like it was highly unlikely that I needed to recreate the wheel, so to speak, as it didn't seem like such a unique situation. 

Popssibly you are  speaking of non-SSL installations?  

Speaking to your specific situation, I imagine the duplex has an old telephone box somewhere on site (unless it's very new construction).

speaking with my property manager and the attorney that we went through, I can evict them by filing an unlawful detainer.

Visit their store in person and speak to the manager - tell them you are staging.

Unfortunately, I cannot speak to VA voucher program.

So there should be no such thing as "forcing you into an office" since this might make you an employee vs. an independent contractor - something that most RE brokerages are not interested in doing as it will be fairly costly to them.b) Speak to as many brokers as you can because they are all set-up differently: Some brokers impose high monthly fees because they carry a national brand name, but may have other benefits to offer you such as good lead generations and strong brand recognition.
