Keller Williams is an awesome place to learn how to grow your business as an agent.  We have a lot of flippers and other RE investors at the office.  Most KW offices probably do not have ANY desks available so you wouldn't have a desk fee!  Other good options are Virtual Properties, and EXP Realty. Look them up!  Good luck on the State test!

Don't worry about "animosity."  You are not doing the wrong thing by enforcing the terms.  They agreed to the terms, and you agreed to the terms.

If you're on a team, then your team leader should be able to help you, or some of the other buyers agents on the team should be helping you.  I see that you know Mary Curtiss.  We used to be on a team together at KW in Stockbridge.  Shes great!  Anyway, when I first started, my team leader had me following up with buyer leads that were coming in through his marketing, and also he had me circle prospecting every morning.  Maybe your team can hook you up with a list to circle prospect?  Does your team have Landvoice or Cole Realty or anything like that to generate those lists?

several have been condemned in Clayton county recently.  Might try to track those owners down!

I'd buy The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, by Gary Keller and follow it to a "T".   You'll still have $19,985 in your pocket, and you'll have a great road map and business plan to follow.  As far as marketing goes...always lead with revenue and it shouldn't be more than 10-15% of your total revenue. Facebook ads are cheap and have the ability to reach thousands of people for $20 or less.

Hey @Curt Smith, I apologize for missing your last post.  The pro membership is a must.  The numbers for the basic service  are terrible...old numbers that have been disconnected.  

I don't have any experience with that strategy.  I like it though!  My main focus right now is selling listings, and flipping for myself with MHP's(my true love!) still being my end game.

@Perry B. have you tried your local banks?  They will probably be your best bet.  Like you already said, most larger lenders are scared to death of mobile homes.  I have plenty of them, and typically sell via owner finance or cash.

I'm using landvoice right now.  Super inexpensive, when comparing to other services.  All listings expire at 12:01 AM, and landvoice emails me the list between 4-7:30AM every morning.  On the 1st of every month, you might have several hundred expired listings, but most days its between 15-25.

As a real estate investor, one of the main reasons why I've been reluctant to sell is the 5% selling commission fee. When the internet has compressed commissions everywhere, it's amazing people are still willing to pay 5%.

Given volume is down, why doesn't the real estate industry just lower their commission costs to increase volume? This way, more people will get paid.

 Would you lower your fees so more people will get paid?
