hello,

I am newly licensed broker in search of a sponsoring broker that will provide high-end training and leads. I want to build my business as a investor friendly realtor. Working with traditional buyers and investors. I am interested in helping first time home buyers purchase investment property. I am also interested in being a green zone friendly realtor. I look forward to building a successful real estate business as well as growing my own REI portfolio!

Looking to be 420 friendly real estate agent. Come January IL will have green zones for dispensary and growers. Any tips on how to research the green zones? Should I just call the zoning department in all municipalities?

I am looking for wholesale friendly closing title companies in TN, please send all recommendations. Also I am interested in partnering with any local TN investors.

@Anthony Dadlani Thank you for those options! Homeowners gave me a number that would be considered great offer. Next, for the negotiation. The assessor information on the property is not accurate; sqft off and bedrooms/bathroom off. I am still working on due diligence; should I just disregard the assessor information and make offer based on comps. The analysis of the property is stressing me out! I think bringing in another investor with more experience might be a great option. This property has so much potential! 

I got a call from a absentee direct mail campaign. Homeowner is interested in selling. Renovation was started but still needs to be finished. Owner can straight out and said comps were 400K and he would not entertain 200K. The place has potential to be converted from SFH to duplex. The mortgage info states 155k and assessed at 28K. I asked owner was there still a mortgage but question sort of ignored. Homeowners seems pretty open to ideas I want to present seller financing and I fund the rehab/mortgage renovation is done and property sold. I think I heard a BiggerPockets podcast like this; but I can't find it. How can I negotiate the owner carrying loan while I renovated and sell to end buyer

@Drew Taylor thank you. I am looking her up now

@Zoran Stanoev you found the meetups for des Plaines on Meetup.com? 

@David Danforth thanks going to check out meetup.com! 

I am new to real estate investing and I am interested in commercial Multi-family. Are there any Chicago-Area investor that would be willing to have a meet-up with me?

Found answer to my question want to go through the realtor that way I am not stepping on anyone’s toes. Additionally; might want to build a report with agent for leads on other deals
