This is true, but check your state realtor commission by-laws.Then, finding a broker that let's you invest while being employed by them is a rare find.

Wanting to try something new, I was employed by Regions Bank, then started my own company manufacturing home decor items.

Welcome to biggerpocketsSorry about your upcoming employment issue.

We also look for tenants for this commercial properties and also we look for property managers who have knowledge of the Hialeah area and market.I'm a NY based entrepreneur and been investing in RE for 15 years, I also hold a FL Real Estate Sales Associate license and i'm employed through a broker in Doral, FL. 

As far as the clientele, the property is right next to one of the largest auto auctions in the country and this is where most of the tennants are employed.

As others have mentioned, areas such as Midland, Odessa, or anywhere in the Eagleford Shale region will be majorly impacted because a large percentage of those employed there are in Oil and Gas. 

I'm 27 and self-employed.

Does anyone have a Go-To source  or two for market specific , economic, employment, and demographic data?

This is illegal extortion. 

(LOL, for you military types).Yes, Oscar is a self employed bird dog.
