@Joshua Marriott To your point about the split not making sense for your team, I can put you in touch with Sam Rodriguez, the Regional Director of Growth & Expansion at eXp Realty. The team structure is incentivized in a more compelling way than just a single agent. Each team member pays a much lower yearly cap. If you want to get the full picture, just let me know. It could explode growth for your team.

@Vishal P. I used https://www.instituteonline.com/ and was pleased with both the education pieces and how they walk you through what you need to do regarding exams. The final exam (state & national portions) is proctored at a physical location. I believe it's $600 for all the coursework.

Carl King Welcome! I’m just a little west in Sycamore and have some properties in Geneva. I host a meet up once a month out here if you’re interested in connecting with some other investors.

Post: Legal Non-Conforming Issue Selling?

We're under contract to buy a 20-unit apartment complex. It's a legal non-conforming property. The zoning is single family residential. We're trying to get it rezoned as multi-family but we're getting pushback from the city. If we're never able to get it rezoned, will this be an issue if we go to sell it down the road?
