@Kevin Hunter I am prior service - stationed at Fort Drum.

Hello BP Community! New investor from Clayton NY.  Right in the heart of the 1000 islands (Yes just like the salad dressing!)  I am currently employed in retail sales and am very excited to start my real estate invest...

Hello @Michael Ablan,I just PCSd to Drum last week.

Remember, leveraging your equity SOMEHOW is how you get: (drum roll)...

For example, do you find it effective to throw Halloween-themed client appreciation events to drum up referral and repeat business, or use "back to school" themed messaging in your marketing materials?

@Rob Drum Jr.

Drum.

I'm also looking to drum up some business through marketing methods.  

However, there is an issue of timeframe here, because in the MBL requirements it states that: "(c) Has had a minimum of three years of licensed experience as a fulltime real estate broker in this state or in another jurisdiction having comparable requirements within the five years previous to applying for the managing broker's license examination or is otherwise qualified by reason of practical experience in a business allied with or related to real estate as prescribed by rule;" SO, now for the big pay off, my friends who have held on this long... my question is (drum roll, please) must military service have been within the last five years in order to satisfy this requirement?

Big banks use this as a sneaky way to drum up future refi business.
