@Nick Colvill over half of our clients qualify as an RE pro and most of them are from BP.

I have had clients who have come to me because they were traced under FHA loans for mortgage fraud and it never ends pretty for them. 

The other issue some of my clients just ran into in Forest Park is something called the "self sufficiency" rule.

Hello,I have a client that needs to get his house on the market in the Arlington Texas area and need a licensed agent to list his home ASAP, would be a 50/50 split due to received client from another referral agency.

My investor clients are chasing returns, not dreamhouses.

I have a decent amount of investor clients and repeat investor clients.

Many cannot handle it or quit too soon.With my commercial real estate one day I can get a new client with 10 million to invest and the other a flake with 500k who doesn't know what they want and is driving you nuts.

Marketing is marketing and most of them work, you just need to use common sense and think about who your ideal client is.

@Brian LeungFor a fourplex in LA/OC - you should in the 6.5-8% of monthly rent range.As a next step, I would suggest asking these companies for referrals to existing clients.
