I didn't enjoy competing with her.After 10 months, I decided to go solo and work under the license of a coach I had retained.Several months later, my internal entrepreneur got the better of me and I opened my own brokerage - Clear Sailing Realty, LLC (Where our tag line says it all: It's Clear Sailing.....all the way Home)We're designed to be a low cost, low friction brokerage both for clients and agents. 

Awesome story and I'd love to link up with you and your husband and discuss business ideas.

A link to a really good book would be great too.Thanks,Justin

Hi @Brandon Shaw Thats a good list already.... heres the File link for some checklists and other files the BP community has accumulated. https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesThis should help a bit by not reinventing the wheel as much.

For reference: You can put in a phone number on the Facebook search textbox, and if the person has linked their phone to their facebook, they will show up...

Click on the link and it should be near the top, underneath the picture of the home. 

Freddie/Fannie issues come up as well, primarily when PMI is involved, so you need to stay up to date on PMI guidelines if doing short term flips, many of them have NO WAY in 90 days rule, and 90-180 days a 2 Appraisal rule, and it doesnt stop at the PMI company, some Lenders have their own internal set of guidelines on this, so one bank may be able to do it and another cant using the same secondary financing, the funny part is most loan officers have no clue what you are talking about when you try to cove this on the front end.

Not sure if you have found this link yet or not, but here is a list of options for you.
