@ Bryan: I wouldnt necessarily need someone local but its a preferance just so they are more familiar with the market Im in.
@ Darrin: Ive really learned alot from these forums and from others. I appreciate all that. Im not necessarily looking for a long term.commitment from anybody. Like you said theres enough free.info on here and other places to learn about marketing and other aspects of the business. What Im really looking for is someone who can show what contracts they use, how to fill them out, and how to work with the title company/attorney for closing. How to construct an owner finance deal or sub 2. I would like to see how that works. (Which goes back to the reason why I prefer someone local with knowledge of local laws)
Im willing to help out someone in their business. Whether it be posting ads, helping in marketing, birddogging, etc if they would be willing to let me.observe the few things i mentioned and teach me the basics of constructing the deal. Id also ask for a small.amount of compensation if Im working for somebody and I help bring a deal together. I say small because I realize that the knowledge and experience gained is the main thing for me.But that can be discussed if someone is willing to help me.
Thanks again for taking time to reply
