Had to pay a contractor $$$$ to construct a custom frame.

Once you move from junior agent to agent to assistant director etc. the split usually gets better over time.I am the principal broker with my own company so I offer a more boutique and heavily driven customer service relationship where you are not just a number among the masses for the big boys.  

The agent will have to check with their broker but, since you're a repeat customer with more deals likely to come their way, they'd be crazy not to help you out.

I was using the quote button and deleting the text keeping the @ person. 

My name is Linval Taylor and I am a retired Telecommunications solutions engineer, after 33 years of service working with global multi-national customers of top tier service providers.Additionally, I am a licensed Realtor in New York and a real estate investor with investment properties in Atlanta, Georgia and its environs.

The REIT stock can be sold with a click of a button, the property investment can not.  

@Mindy Jensen My business currently sells over 400 homes a year across 8 different markets exclusivly to investors, AND my team deals with the customer service ongoing, so I have seen every nightmare imaginable.

A lot of wholesalers keep their best deals to themselves and/or give their preferred/regular customers a first look.Lastly, you need to make sure that you are very familiar with comps and the 75% ARV calculation. 

I have good credit score, good equity but tons of write-offs on my taxes, and it is very difficult to get a Home equity line.

And I'm finding that a lot of these customers that I'm dealing with and talking to as they pass through my register are not only contractors but some are real estate investors and agents.
