Hello All,
I am looking for a realtor with creative financing experience. Mainly prioritizing no or low down deals in Tallahassee and Jacksonville FL. My price range for down payments is $2,500-$5,000 (max) or preferably less. I have $5,000 to work with and would prefer to buy two homes at $2,500 down, but will consider one home at $5,000 down. Although I already believed it to be true, I have been reading Creating Wealth by Robert G Allen and it only pushed me even further to believe it is out there if you look! The only problem is that the book is pretty dated (from the 80's) so he explains to find these deals in the newspapers or yellow pages which obviously are no longer prevalent.

Hi Kyle. Glad you took action! To be honest, Realtor's get paid off of commission of each transaction. If you want a Realtor to find these deals, it would be in your best interest to offer some kind of incentive.
Or, you can find the deals yourself and negotiate the terms. Places to check would be Craigslist, facebook marketplace, old listings, etc.
Based on my experience, your request will not be taken seriously. My thoughts.

Hey Mitchlyn,
Thank you for the insight! Of course I would offer the realtor some kind of fee or incentive or percentage of the transaction (I don't expect them to work for free! Haha). I am already looking for the deals myself as well so I am just trying to increase my odds of finding a deal!

Hi Kyle,
You mentioned everything but any incentive for the Realtor. If I was a realtor reading, that would be the first question asked else i've wasted time reading the post. But it's clear now! :). Tallahassee has some good deals! Take advantage!
