Hi BP,I'm thinking about purchasing a small multifamily home in northern NJ within an hour by train to NYC.  

You will learn and earn while you do it.If you don't want to do that, than consider investing in training.

I live and work in/near MT View but would have to make serious financial/life changes to buy in a reasonable commutable area, and still just be riding the appreciation / equity payoff train.

Additionally since you are paying them to come and clean your home they should work around your schedule, not the other way around.The next attribute that is important to look into is if the staff is educated and trained.

But I do separate my materials and labor bid, i was trained that way, and my template will always look like this:Flooring xxx sf Material x,xxx Labor xx,xxxNote: Finish floor material limited to $3/sf, add at cost if more than.In case the client wants a $5/sf of actual tiles, they only need to add $2/sf.

I highly recommend you ask about training.

Is there an option of having and in class part of the training with ProSchools?

They can help you within the limits of their training in regard to using pre-drafted contracts.

Do they provide good training for agents?

We would like to advertise only to them and create relationships with their squadrons that allows us to be full year round with the airmen coming through for various training reasons.
