Remember that the CPA does not have to audit the client.

In this day of technology, it is unlikely that the best use of a broker's time is to go cold call clients.  

Where as the average client buys and sells a home maybe  in a  10 yea spans or can be longer If an agent is used again a time all.  

He said it might be a bit more difficult with a partial loss.  

It is very difficult to answer this plain vanilla question.  

I personally do give breaks to repeat clients, so maybe talk to him.her about discounts on future deals.YOu can call around and see what other reputable agents are charging in the area.When you say a finders fee for off market deals, these may be deals where the seller is not paying a commission and he/she is using her network to find flips, foreclosures, probate. etc.  

As a Realtor that works with investors and is an investor, I can tell you that Realtors generally like adding an investor to their client list (I love working with investors).

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

How handy are you at fixing a water line (typically not all that difficult as the lines in the south are not very deep in the earth)?

To summarize-it's very competitive and finding good deals is rather difficult.
