Thank you everybody for the responses so far.I read each and every last one of them, and for the most part - Patrick and Holly really answered my question directly and in depth - its all good though, I appreciate all the responses I can get as this is an important question to me.Patrick - I realize the start up costs of being an agent is low - but I wasn't just talking about that set of costs - I was talking about finding a way to pay for the first 6-12 months of those expenses and personal expenses.
