@Michael Conway I'm an agent for the area and looking to do the same thing.  Connect with me and we can take a look at some properties and compare strategies.

Hey Guys, 

I'm @Adriana Meza and @Daniel Godbout I'm looking to move to NSD later this year. Would love to connect with you and chat over the phone about the area.

I target 5-25 units with non-corporate owners.  I think a professional letter with a personal touch connects with them more than a completely type printed letter.  They feel it's another person similar to them selves that's sending them the letter(which is true!).   

I was wondering this as well.  Being an agent/investor, I'm debating sending very professional letters vs handwritten to MF owners.  I try not to make my letters look too "spammy".  I usually have a type written, professional letter but, write notes at the bottom to show a person handled the letter.  It saves a lot of writing!

@Joel Owens I'm looking for is something like BiggerPockets for Licensed Commercial Agents.

@Michael DeLuca,

My brokerage(Pacific Investment Properties) and I work out of Carlsbad. With $1.4M down, you can finance roughly $4M. There are some nice commercial MF around 4.5-5 CAP in SD for less than that. The more units you get the more you justify having a good property management company manage the property for you.

If you're property is sold at $1.6M you can replace it with multiple properties if you like up to $3.2M.  You could perhaps purchase one in FL and keep one in SD!

Hi,

As a new agent I'd like to connect with fellow Commercial Agent/Brokers.
Can anyone suggest commercial RE agent/broker or finance forums?  what about podcasts?  

Thank You.

You can broker commercial or residential deals with a CA salesperson license(im sure it's the same in most places).   

Hi,

I just got my CA salesperson license and I'm looking to get into commercial/Multifamily investments with the goal to eventually have my own private equity firm someday. 

I'm going to visit a broker/owner in San Diego that specializes in multifamily investments and loan brokering.   Obviously, we'll talk about commissions splits and his training.  I believe he expects his agents to work our of their own offices since there are no monthly fees.  

Question: What are some non-obvious questions that I should ask this broker?

You could look for prospecting/research positions for real estate companies or transaction coordination opportunities.  Look at the real estate section of Craigslist.
