Kelly I looked at recruiting agent for my firm years ago.At one point I did an active campaign and had about 45 agents at my firm at one time.I have found most agents feel entitled or won't follow the steps you tell them to be successful.They will skip some steps because they are lazy and want to "get rich quick" like the rest of the population which is why so many fail.If I add an agent say on a 70/30 split then I have to take time from my own deals where I make 100 percent to make 30 with them.The training and getting over their mindset takes so much more time than me doing my own deals.This is why I have only 7 agents right now.I got rid of the rest.Many companies try the 100 percent model but you get either new agents having no experience,part-time agents who are rusty,child support demands,irs tax liens,license lapses for education and or non-payment of dues etc.It is a huge headache to keep up with for a low return.If you go the other route you can train new agents for a fat split before they leave the business or train a select few agents that you want to feed leads to on your team.I just focus now on my own investment purchases and my own commercial listings.

I grew up there as a child before moving to Canton.120,000 should get you a decent starter home in Woodstock.You can find one that used to be in the 180k to 200k range at the peak back in 2008 for 120k now.When looking if you are not happy at 120,000 in what you find bump up to 140,000 or so and you can negotiate down to your 120 range.You don't need to pay off your credit card balances just get them below 33% of available credit limit and it will boost your score.I know doctors that open up practices and have to pay off very expensive equipment over time but didn't know the schooling was so expensive.
