My office doesn't care if I ever go there but I have to do a certain volume in order to "hang" my license there.Bottom line, it's more than taking an exam, paying a fee and getting access to the mls.Good luck with your decision!!

I deal with investors daily.

The first week was great- expect when we realized that our neighbors behind us we on vacation and had returned. the family is a bunch of screamers, the mother, father and the 4 or so children. the parents often allow the children to hang out in the back yard for hours and hours and all they do is scream- (high pitch psychotic screaming). they have barely no backyard- is consists of a squeezed in lap pool, a full concrete yard and tall glass sliding doors. these were all approved by the arb and now they only accelerate the volume of noise they create. their screams bounce off of their concrete and house and project into our yard and THROUGH our windows and into our house.we asked them to talk and expressed how much the volume travels into our home- but the father was very rude, told be to f off and the mother said there is nothing she can do to stop it.the worse part is- my fiance has a panic anxiety condition and he just recently reached out and is seeking professional help with a certified psychiatrist and is also now enrolled in a cognitive behavioral program. we did not know he was suffering from panic attacks all these years- i honestly thought he was bipolar or mentally sick. with new hope that he may be able to learn to control his anxiety attacks this new issue with the neighbors has only made this situation worse. we purposely stay away from large crowds or loud events because it makes him have an episode and he becomes very ill. even now i am still trying understand it-i need to help him and decided that i need to stay by his side.i spoke with the property manager and she suggested submitting plans to the ARB for putting up a 5' x 6' fountain and to contact local authorities and file noise complaints. the issue is that my fiance is only getting worse (he has been out of a job for 6 years and i finally had hope he might get better and start working again)- a fountain wont stop the screaming noise we hear every single day. local authorities said to document noise and record- i have.now i am at the point that my fiance has lost 10 pounds in one week, he is constantly having attacks and if something doesn't stop the noise he will only get worse.what are my options?

I remember J Scott was going to help you with it some.Certain parts of Cobb county are good and others are bad.When the condition of a property can change daily depending on where it is located it is hard for an REO broker to tell you exactly what is happening with it.

I'm not sure if that qualifies as so many great leads for you.I basically send emails daily to sellers on craigslist, backpage, etc. and the FSBO sites.

You will need to scrub the toilet daily with bleach or ammonia in order to prevent "viruses".

I will note that here in Memphis, partly due to the fact that things are less expensive and the fact that we do such a high volume of business, I can replace a unit for usually under $1,500.

As a agent/investor I've come across of few of these on the buying side and believe me these agents are barraged with paperwork (Equator is a nightmare to deal with from the listing side because the banks can take constantly ask the agent and the home seller 10x for the same info) and they don't get much commission per house (we'll make it up in volume) so you really need to bring something to the table to be able to get their attention.

I think it is a good idea though several years back we tried it at the company I was working for and we met daily after reading x amount each night.

Some REO brokers list that stuff in Atlanta for 1,000 minimum commission but after costs they don't clear anywhere near that amount.They might as well in my book be doing rentals at that rate of return.When I listed the residential REO's it was years and years ago.Price point was much higher 175,000 to 400,000.They were paying a full 3% and the bank was giving direct.When volume came in some of these banks outsourced the assignment of listings to asset management companies who took a 1% referral and made you pay for their certifications and platforms they described as FREE and a benefit to the bank.It wasn't free just ripping off the brokers with fees meanwhile the AM companies and banks are getting the full benefit.This is exactly why many in the game have switched to the short sale side.More volume,full commission,no fees,etc.
