Find ways to save and cut costs.

I may have a potential business partner to work with - someone who is better at cut and dry facts versus my creative vision.

Although I am a Broker, I've not run my own Brokerage, however, I'll offer insight from my own experience as this is not a very cut and dry subject. 

It is pure gambling unless you have a proven long-term near guaranteed Edge on the market.

My state game and fish department got smart and cut off sales of fishing licenses to out of state fishermen. 

Wow , yeah that is a small town on the edge of the earth.  

New to the business/site and was wondering if there's any value in obtaining a real estate license in hopes of cutting out that expense when buying/selling homes.

However, I would not agree to a simple 1/3 cut of the appraisal value, as that does not take into account about 8% costs if the properties actually had to be sold.

Or I can tell you, Yo.. you are doing it wrong and it will be difficult to make it that way...Now which do you want to hear.Come up with a solid reason for that absentee owner list.Then figure out what the cost /deal is for your pick of lead gen system, and if you have the money THEN move forward...If you do not have enough money to cover that cost/deal x 1.7 (that's a safety factor), get the money first!

I cut the lawn on my other property on the street and went over to the auction.
