Starting up as Short Sale Broker in Houston, TX area

[Gregory Wesley]

I have done several Short Sales for friends, family and referrals and now I'm wanting to market and bring in short sale leads. I have read many posts here as well as blogs found on the web about short sales. I was thinking I could list the properties and receive my commission as well as a wholesale fee without doing the "double close" thing. I would simply be paid my commission by the bank/seller and then receive a wholesale fee from the investor. However, it seems as though even with full disclosure, I may be risking trouble by getting the fee from the investor. So, what do you guys think??? Should I give up the wholesale fee dream and what are some good marketing efforts? I know about bandit signs and looking for vacant homes.
