I have been doing alot of research regarding whether or not it is necessary to sign with an IMO for Life/Health and P&C. It seems more necessary when talking about Life/Health, especially related to commissions and assistance with understanding and selling policies. I have several questions:
1) If it is an absolute must to sign with an IMO, can I sign with an IMO that is based outside of Florida?
2) Does where the IMO is based affect my ability to sign with them?
3) Do you all recommend signing with an IMO for P&C?
4) Can someone, or several of you, differentiate and provide some contacts to some Life/Health and P&C IMO's?
5) If an IMO is supposed to be a 'specialist' or provide training, should I be looking for an IMO with many appointments with carriers? Or fewer carriers so I can be sure they know what they are talking about?
6) Can someone provide some examples of carriers that WILL NOT appoint me (a newbie) if not through an IMO?

Thank you,
