Commission is a crappy reason not to assist a client... 

After many clients, what I find the most important thing for cold call success is persistence.

As an independent insurance agent, I make sure that all of my clients have an appropriate amount of coverage based on their net worth and risk tolerance.

We have closed thousands of loans both with brokers and with clients who choose to bypass brokers as well.

Properties that I take care of for my clients are either house # or I have names for some of them, not all are good names haha Ghost house, roach house, flea bag, etc

What's your ideal client profile?

I had several clients from states like California where buying property in their home state was prohibitively expensive, but they could afford a decent property here. $500k won't buy you much in San Fran but is a pretty healthy budget in Jax.One smaller factor is that Duval county doesn't charge impact fees on new construction (and is the only county in Florida that does not) which is great for developers but not so great when there's no money for maintaining our schools.https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20190423/duval-voters-to-decide-on-proposed-sales-tax-referendum-to-pay-for-replacing-repairing-renovating-schoolsAlso this isn't Florida or Jacksonville specific, but in times when the stock market is particularly volatile real estate investing becomes more appealing even with lower returns.Personally as an investor I find all this out-of-town investing a bit annoying (increased competition and increased prices) and am concerned that these properties potentially aren't well maintained.

For many, it absolutely makes sense to invest in turnkey and you can find fantastic operators that provide incredible service and their advertised numbers match reality; you just have to shop around and due some deep dives into their operations and get referrals from their past clients and choose a company that you can trust.
