In some cases you would have to work under supervision of someone who is licensed in whichever state you'll be working in. 

You will learn a lot from each path (retail might give you some good experience understanding the mindset of retail buyers on flip exits).I would honestly say pursue whichever route you feel like you will enjoy working in more each day.

This too influences seasoning required.From an accounting and book value point of view an asset is valued at cost or market, which ever is less within 12 months, after 12 months it moves to its market value.

One of my first thoughts would be to have an Outlook calendar for the maintenance crew so that they can check their schedule on their cell phones via Google Calendar-Outlook Calendar synching.

It is a great area for flipping or rentals, so good luck in whichever one you choose!

. $500 or 10% whichever is less sounds good, but I'm sure there is value in the face to face I'd get in a local office and the training they may provide. 

hey @Taylor Howes The best piece of advice I heard lately about business cards is don't use them.You are much more likely to get an interaction, response or call back from a person if you can convince them to put your name and number in their cell phone directory.Follow that up with a short little text along the lines of "Hi, this is Taylor, now that we've talked please feel to contact me if you need anything - OK?"

Call me and I'll give you his cell phone number.706-818-3359.

They either get it for the purchase price specified today, or the appraisal value, whichever is lower.

.$21,000....WOW.It sold three years ago for over $300,000Times do change.The experiences above were, beforeMLS, fax machines, cell phones all the other "toys of today" If you wanted to show a listing of another company youhad to drive over to their office to get thekey, show the property, and have the key back within two hours, or they wouldNOT allow you to show any of their otherlistings again.
