I would also tell each prospective client about the legal ramifications of working with an unlicensed/uninsured contractor. 

It's happened to me directly with a client on a short sale in Montclair, NJ.  

I have some clients that have used them and they have a pretty decent program for rental investors, but things move slow around there...

But it's not just initial training, it's the ongoing support, like a new financial planner just getting licensed with the general agent, they always discuss cases together, General agent makes 50% of the financial planners gross wages but the new financial plan a gift to look like an expert quicklyNow I don't charge 50% of every deal, which I personally think is  ridiculous, but I do charge a fee for 12 months coaching@Jim KellerThank you for the kind words and I look forward to having you as a client.

I have a fair amount of out of town clients and they've been able to be successful because they have local "boots on the ground". 

Also Klein ISD is another very favorable area.Many of my clients are in the oil and gas field, and they have said most of the job loss is occurring with field jobs.

Roi obviously depends on what area of Houston you buy in but 9-12% is not unrealistic on single family rental properties under management here.From talking to clients from California and talking to the guys in our LA office, its borderline impossible to find rental property with half decent returns out there.

If it helps... have a few clients that have tried direct mail in NOVA in the last few months.

Many of our clients have used him. (317) 413-9918. 

Unless, of course, you have a lot of time on your hands and are thinking of transitioning into the real estate business.But then I would still recommend using a broker for YOUR property.Remember that saying about the attorney that is representing himself…he has a fool for a client?
