Quote process and great deals

[Vlad Denisov]

1. Let's say I find a deal on Loopnet. What information do I have to get from the commercial agent? Or I have to get it from a seller? If so, should I ask agent the contact information of the seller? At what point do I want to contact the seller and what information I have to get from the agent before I start speaking directly with a seller? It really confuses me. Can you people who had actually bought properties, describe for me how it process looks like? 

2. Cardone wrote on his site that you can't find a great deal on Loopnet. How do I find great deals? Is it only possible if you have special type of friends or a normal person can find it for sure if knows how to look for it or whom to ask?
