However, I'm not sure if doing repairs or slowly learning to remodel while living in the unit will affect your child.

They go MIA quickly if you don't rotate or find a home that's visible but hard to get to on foot.

GAMLS you have to pay an ongoing fee for instead of when a sale occurs like FMLS.With FMLS you still have to hit yearly minimum brokerage sales numbers or get hit with a big fee.What I learned from that experience is that many agents have a sense of entitlement.I would find that maybe only 20% to 30% of the agents would have a closing that month.So to scale this if I had 100 agents you might have 6,000 to 9,000 a month gross coming in.For that though it is a major headache.Many agents are part-time and rusty or an investor wants to run a hair brained scheme.My favorite is a new agent that just left a 50/50 brokerage that has almost zero training and wants to join my firm.They would want you to train them and spend hours and hours for a 300 trans fee.I am not even mentioning the amount of paperwork you have.Agents not keeping up with education requirements,not paying license fees and getting a lapsed license,getting a suspended license for child support, government loans,etc.Getting IRS orders to take any commission your agent gets and pay to them etc.I now have about 18 agents and haven't taken anymore for over a year.I do way better and make more working my own deals.Paperwork and headaches are less and I don't babysit have to constantly watch agents anymore.I would say it's good to have the brokerage license just don't add any agents unless you keep it small and they agree to a fat commission split for your time invested.If they him and haw kick them to the curb!!

Many of these homes have a lot of character and in some areas are highly sought after.I personally dislike claw-foot tubs but they have certainly became the thing to have and are quite expensive here in Seattle.
