Keep copious notes and records. Do not solely depend on the computer or handheld devices. Assume you are going before a court of law in front of a judge to collect your commissions owed from an unscrupulous landlord. Have your deal history details prepared and on hand. My first two deals in commercial real estate I had to go to court to collect my commissions and won both times without an attorney.
