 Oooof. I don't feel great about the idea for these reasons.

One morning a tow truck hauled one of our resident's vehicles back to the apartment.  Something strange was embedded in the front end of the car.

Hahaha oh my gosh!!! 

We had a deceased borrower show up for a court hearing

 @Chris Seveney A deceased borrower?! 

I'll go first: we once had an owner not hire us to manage her property because we refused to market the home as "2 bed, 1 bath." Why did we refuse? Because one of the bedrooms had been converted into a music studio. There was a window from the living room looking into the studio, and a window from the other bedroom closet (acting as the sound booth). They didn't see a problem with this! HAHA!

OK YOUR TURN!

Up until now, we have shot down any opportunities to manage rent by the room properties; however it is a conversation I am having more often these days and considering it more seriously. What are the pros and cons of rent by the room?

I just opened my own brokerage in May in Central Oregon (Bend area, not Eugene) and am trying to decide when is the right time to bring on some other agents? 

My long term goal is to have around 7 full time agents and a few admin. I only have a virtual TC helping me right now. 

How do I know I'm ready?! 

I mentored 3 other agents at my last brokerage; my partner decided to buy that company and the other 2 stayed to help her with the large workload. 

 Have you considered different team models? It is more profit/less headache building a team around you and your production than it is to carry the risk and problems of other full time agents hanging their license under you.. Unless you enjoy the training of new agents and educating on license law/commission rules!  

We love our RE agents and recently hosted an open house with a great friend/referral partner... She and I were both surprised at the low turnout. When I sold residential, I did an open house every weekend and always had 8-10 visitors MINIMUM. We only saw 4 people on Sunday. 

In preparation, we posted anywhere and everywhere(!!!) and had cinnamon rolls hot and ready to share day of... Did we miss something? Are open houses a thing of the past? I haven't sold residential in a year, so maybe I am just out of practice?

How would you handle this request?

Angie Castro with Evernest in CLT is a great Agent. She truly knows how to run the numbers on properties and investing is her passion! 100% recommend. Happy to pass on her info if needed.
