I am looking for a couple of highly motivated individuals that are interested in wholesaling/wholetailing within a 1 hour drive of St. Augustine, FL.  I am looking for individuals that are committed to honest, treating people ethically and morally and always upholding the laws.  If you couldn't pass a basic background and/or drug test, then we aren't a good fit.  If you only work 8 hours a day, we aren't a good fit.  If you know what the 10x rule is, we are a good fit.

We will be spending $1500/mo in direct mail marketing to begin with and will have our phones answered and leads qualified through the same marketing company.

Once the leads are qualified and appointments set, I will be meeting with the seller to examine the house, buy the house and do the closing.

All your leads will be entered and tracked through www.reimobile.com.  Your pay will be $500 for every lead that closes.  Title to properties will be taken though a land trust and payment done through a Joint Venture.

If you are interested in doing more than being a property locator, then we can discuss partnering up together. I can offer MLS access for a small fee as my assistant if you are unlicensed. An application and a color copy of your drivers license will need to be supplied to NEFAR.

Message me if interested with your email and phone number and we can talk more off-line.  Thank you!

@Eugene Kemp Thanks! I did confirm it is $35/qtr. That being said why do I hear many investors complaining about how hard it is to get access to the MLS?

Here are the duties that can be performed according to the FREC:

Check out podcasts 4,75,86,182 and 236 by @Michael Quarles  He addresses how you might structure some of these deals.  Good luck!

trying to talk my brother into it :-)

I read that you can hire an unlicensed assistant as a licensed associate in Florida so that the assistant can have access to the MLS.

How is that accomplished and how much does it cost?  Please share your experience if you have done this before. 

I am going to call NEFAR tomorrow to get the skinny but was just curious to hear from the folks here on BP.  Thanks in advance!

I just signed up for @Michael Quarles gold coaching program.  My brother and I have been following and listening to his podcasts for at least 6 months now.  His podcasts have been one area where I have learned so much.  No where else have I ever read about a Memorandum of Contract and my brother recently just discovered why it pays to file one in some instances.

Anyways, I wanted to put this out there in case anyone has any questions. My goal is to update this thread 2-3 times per week with progress and questions if you want to follow along. I think this is going to work out great for me because I just got my license and access to the MLS.

@Amy Edinger  Sent you a private message :-)

@Tom Myers  That is great  I am a big fan of Quarles and am getting ready to ramp up to try his method, but curious about a couple of things:

1. how are you taking title? Cash? Sub2? Owner financing?

2. Are you listing it on MLS as soon as you get it under contract?

3.  Are you using direct mail similar to what Quarles suggest?

4.  How big a list are you mailing to and what kind of callback and close percentages are you getting?

Thanks!

Respond with more action like Grant Cardone would do in his book the 10x Rule...get a copy if you haven't already.  Good luck.

@Robert Smith  Any chance you might share the disclosures you use?  Thanks.
