If you are just starting out and have no transactions under your belt, keep it simple.

Norwood is a big area, and definitely starting to see some progress in some pockets (especially along the border with the Rookwood area).

Although in the beginning I believed that hanging my license under a transaction only fee brokerage will be my best option I quickly realized that they usually offer no training at all and will suit more experienced agents better.

All of these transactions would be recorded on that LLC's books and ledgers.

Cross marketing opportunities abound at local levels.

You will want to speak with all of the professionals on your team such as your lawyer and accountant to determine how to legally structure the transaction. 

Unless you are a licensed real estate agent, then accepting a fee for a real estate transaction is typically illegal.

So the average market cap rate, in theory, is NOT subjective because it's calculated based on actual recent transactions.

Search for all cash closed transactions in your area and when you see the same entity repeat 3 or more times in one year where the purchase was all cash, there is a real cash buyer.

I work on these type of transactions all the time.
