Like you said this is a big city do you have zip codes you can supply that your judgements are being based on?

However I'm not so much nervous about having agents under me but more about being able to supply them the guidance and leads they need to be successful.

Not-so-common problems include a rusted out water supply line (requires digging up the yard), burst pipes ($1000 tops) or various leaks in stacks and drains (allocate $300 for buttoning these up.)

I can offer the insight from the supply side, but need input from the real world applications.

Then understand the dynamics of your product or service, focus on solutions to problems that go hand in hand with supply and demand, followed by learning aspects of your niche/area, and leverage (including presentation) your position to close.

Of course you can get better pricing when buying materials and supplies in bulk too.

There are the necessities of life. water, food, shelter, health and we need a supply of money to keep them all coming.

@Brian Anderson You are getting some good advice from @Bill Gulley and @Steve Babiak but I will expand or condense a little:Get the property under contract with the proper contingencies in place and ample time (if you can).

It could have been a more interesting lesson if they really didn't actually know how to paint, charged you $500, then you had to pay someone else $$$ + new paint supplies to redo everything that they had previously done.
