Turns out about 1/3 of his clients are investors that buy 1-2 properties a year from him.

It would make sense for them to frame the house, they are already there and they have to support the structure as they bring it down.Maybe they can even consult with the client on what to build, and how to build it cost effectivly and after that they can  facilitate with the permits.

One of my clients last year told me about BP, and it's been a great learning experience.

@Carol Venolia I never post any of my units for rent on Facebook, and I never post any of my clients homes for sale on Facebook.

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.
