I am a real estate attorney and a licensed real estate broker, but I now run my own property management firm in Syracuse.

You really need to establish what the seller is responsible for, otherwise it's all on you, and you'd best protect your own interest by either starting the eviction or trying a very quick "cash for keys" offer.Either way, you need to impress upon the tenant that they DO owe you starting TODAY, and you mean business.

I actually got my real estate license in the mid ‘90s.

often it is the local smaller long established savings and loans or long established credit unionless and less of thesein my particular city, (100K pop) i can only think of three, possibly four that still work this waya quick phone call is all you need to do

Lastly I developed and launched a new business unit for the publication that generates over $45k per month.I share all this not to gloat, show off or inflate my ego with self importance, but in hopes of your consideration as a peer in the business world.There is no question that anyone with a real estate licence is a business owner whether they work independently or are part of an established firm.

I'm not sure about the state that you live in but in my state, if I give my MLS access and lock box access to someone that isn't licensed and a member, I can get my license suspended or terminated and receive some hefty fines.

But right now my energy needs to be focused on getting started, study for RE license, work a full-time job and getting things ready for my little one (yeah - I will be a dad soon ).

Establishing an identity graphically with colors and a slogan is one thing, but branding in the corporate sense is beyond what is necessary.

Establish your cashflow foundation before your build your investment "home".

An inspection is to find problems, an appraisal is to establish value.
