They are a pretty big operation with 10+ locations.

One recommendation i would have for you is that you start at a bigger percentage company with an agent training program before you go to a 100% commission place.

Since owning for over 25 years,  operation procedures are in place for management that requires little of my time as all aspects are handled by management.

For employee deferrals, you can contribute up to $18,000 of your declared income ($24K if you are age 50 or older), which would be the net operating income less the full 15.3% of employer and employee self-employment taxes.  

The tenants obviously want to stay in the property since they make visitations difficult for prospective buyers.I have very limited cash on hand, have been operating from a student and bootstrapped entrepreneur's budget, but I have come up with a possible creative proposal which I think the seller will be amenable. 

This is an entry-level position and excellent for someone who is looking get huge training and exposure in this fast-pace business with people who have built their own businesses from the ground up!"

Books and training can only take you so far, agree, which is why it is time to jump in and get feet wet.
