Real Estate Deal maker/Middleman

Is it possible to make a career out of putting together Real Estate partnership deals meaning pairing the silent money partner with the active partner who will find the deal and oversee the asset management side of it and the middleman getting a piece of the pie.

@Zevi Arem I wouldn’t say it’s impossible however I would consider it very difficult and unlikely. You have to consider what you as the middleman bring to the table. Why wouldn’t the silent partner go directly to the source and work with someone who could do it for them. There are thousands of people...many of them on these forums searching for ways to finance their deals, already looking for these ‘silent partners’. In addition to that what exactly is your cut and how would you get paid? We work in a razor thin market where $100 cash flow a month is enough for some people to back out of a deal. So where would you factor in and would it be worth it to you. Lastly whose to say that they couldn’t just cut you out of the deal? Truly what value are you bringing? I don’t doubt that this could be done once or twice; But I question how many silent partners with deep pockets that you can acquire which could create a sustainable thriving income stream.
