I personally waive application fees for prior military because I'm retired military myself and like to reward those that have served.

You can also set up a separate LLC to serve as the beneficiary and add a level of anonymity and protection.You can take title at closing in the land trust (if you have title company who is investor friendly).Or, land trusts also allow you to get the loan and property in your name and grant it into the trust after closing. 

When it gets too hot in July and August...road trip and go see clients!

The other option is to get in o  a syndication that would serve as a mentor ship.I’m a big fan of Dan’s podcast btw. 

Was going to tag a client of mine who invests up there but it isn't working.

Like the Singapore folks who are clients of mine.

I really had to look within myself and determine what I wanted, what time I could devote to education, and the time I had for the actual 'doing' of lead gen, MLS searching, client meetings, etc. 

Makes it easy to send documents to clients...As a CRM, we use 'Seize the market'- it organizes all of our leads, syncs to google calendar and even has a dialer feature which is super convenient.

Driving around clients is going to cost gas, plus you're going to detail your car once a week to make sure it's always clean when a client gets in.Some brokerages charge a desk fee - usually $100 but I've seen these range as low as $50, and as high as $600Emotional cost:  HEAVY.Working as a full time agent is pretty tough. 

I used to do triple this amount of rehabs for my REO clients with only a 4-5 person team and the same field contractors.The answer is making the field contractors 100% responsible for everything instead of hiring dozens in your office.
