Be sure to implement a system to stay organized so you know who you're mailing and when.

I did not get a chance to get them signed as I couldn't determine how to overcome a few objections.

might it affect your impression of them once learned, or are u more objective as to the bottom line being how much they produce?

J Martin organizes a great one for the East Bay, though the meetings are usually in SF.

Here in Pittsburgh there is a community organization that is "policing" student rental properties and reporting landlords to the City zoning officials. 

You'll be able to find these brokers by searching for brokers having this designation on the respective website of each organization.

You have determine your objective.

I would definitely be interested in hearing more about the meet up you're organizing in September.

I really like that they have their listings visible and well-organized on their website, as not all turnkey providers do unfortunately.

The first thing I did when I sat down with a brokerage firm was explain my expectations...I plan to invest, I plan to use creative financing, because there is a huge market we are leaving out by not implementing it, and I plan to specialize in win-win solutions (again using creative financing)... if the brokerage could not agree and support my objectives, I would not agree to align myself with a brokerage that I will be paying some of my income yet subjecting myself to lose money due to abiding by their scared rules.
