It will a bit starting out, but not enough to be prohibitive. For the first couple years it took longer to fill spots because if I put my name on my ads I got fewer calls, and if I didn't I got hung up on a bunch. That being said, since I've gotten a good reputation in the area it hasn't been a problem.
As for income- No it shouldn't be a problem long term. My rates are on the high side of average for my area and it hasn't hurt me in the long run.
