To be successful, you need two things - leads and buyers. You will find lots of tips on this webside about lead generation. On buyers, they are found two ways -- MLS for retail buyers and networking for investment buyers. On the buyer side, my advice would be to have one or two really strong investors ready to pull the trigger on short notice, so that when you find something in distress, you have ability to place it quickly, often while earning the entire commission with no split. I work with a broker in Lake Elsinore area, young guy, who has built a really strong business doing this.

@james evans

Hi James. I am going to give the same advice I always give: Don't go at it alone. Find experienced people to work/learn from.
