@Dondi Sanchez - Hi Dondi, I have a commercial industrial/office building located in the outskirts of Orlando that was built in the 80's and Amwins/Axis gave us pretty favorable rates when we binded and still use them.

It's a give and take industry.

Some of the most common asset classes in this space are apartment buildings, single family rentals, short term rentals, industrial, retail, office, self-storage, and mobile homes.

And I don’t think that anyone in this industry who is at a 50-50 split with their broker, or has an endless amount that they would pay into their brokerage every year, year after year, has a particularly good earning arrangement.Last year I started considering starting up my own brokerage, like you’re doing now, and at the same time I investigated cloud based brokerages as I saw they had many advantages over traditional real estate brokerages, and that being a reduced overhead.

I’ve done this for self storage facilities, and multi tenant industrial park.
