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.

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.

He thinks he can get by with a $1 million umbrella policy and he does not incorporate or seek protection from an LLC.

@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.

I come from 30 years in corporate oil & gas accounting. 

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. 

Hey Geoffrey, I'm definitely not the best person to answer #1 or #2, but on #3, @Chris S is right...no license needed..and on #4, I've been thinking of incorporating something JUST like that into my business.I'm a pretty new investor, too...but I've done 15 wholesale props since March, and I just live right up the road in Oak Point.

If you job has some flexibility in when the work is done, brief breaks during the day might be the most effective way to incorporate time sensitive real estate interactions.
