I figure there is a somewhat higher rate, although mid-3s is lower than I've seen most advertising with 10% down.

@Douglas SkipworthSince you own the company, your post is pretty much an advertisement, which is banned in the forums and restricted to the Marketplace.  

As an agent and an investor myself, I am going to wholesale a house for 10k vs. listing a property and making a lot less just to split a commission with someone. any agent out there that has a broker like that just needs to pay the transfer fee to move to another firm I agree that brokers have a financial motivation.You are totally misguided thinking equitable title, equitable interest is the same as the ownership rights to title which are required when offering good title to real estate through any advertisement.

My past performance does not guarantee the future but it all comes down to property location, your advertising methods, relationship with your current tenants, and your screening process. 

I self-manage, do my own advertising, leases, work, etc….. 

Do they pool funds for advertising? 

It’s just different and we see it’s not always as advertised.

I don't really know about Montgomery advertising, but there is a Montgomery real estate investment group that may be able to give you advice.  

Are you advertising to make loans (clearly a business venture) ?
