How To Use My Realtor Most Effectively
I have read a lot about cultivating a relationship with a Realtor in the area you want to invest in, but not much about how that actually works in practical terms, especially for a wholesaler. As a wholesaler I want to have as little Realtor involvement in my transactions as possible, yet I may use my Realtor to find deals on the MLS. If my Realtor sends me leads, do I (have to) use him to make offers? He may end up making a lot of offers that go nowhere. Especially if he does not write my offers, if I profit from a deal, do I send him a referral fee?
