It's about playing the percentages for agents.

Or is it better to create a new LLC for agent purposes...

You’d have to be living in the boondocks for agents to show occupied properties all the time (or at all).

I'm looking for properties in B- areas (more or less), and my research has led me to look in Reynoldsburg.I would absolutely love to hear any recommendations for agents or property managers in the area, and I'd also love to hear any thoughts on the state of the Columbus-area market.

I recommend reaching out to him for agent purposes and because he has the property management knowledge on top of that.Hope this helps!

My first post was deleted because I was directly asking for agent recommendations.

I've had social workers working for agencies who routinely defend their client's behavior, as if violent, argumentative behavior, domestic violence, illegal drug use, violation of lease terms, and of course, always combined with non-payment of rent, were just a "cultural" difference. 

If you just want to take the courses, you probably won't learn anything useful, most RE courses for agents are just memorizing definitions.

I have owned 4 brokerages over the decades.. mostly to support my own activities.. thats the only way I would personally do it.. its constant recruiting.. and with the margins these days your not making much on the brokerage its a free place to work.. now in some markets were they have a strangle hold on agents and take a crazy cut like 50% I guess i can see that working.. but in competitive markets for agents you have 100% shops that just charge a flat fee per year.Like my wife pays 10k a year.. and gets 100%... the landscape is changing.for beginning in the business though I like the Keller team approach will will learn while you earn.. then figure out what you want to do.

I’d be willing to give up $200 to pay for a So]forage unit for the seller if they are that cash strapped.
