the best way to build your business is to identify value add purchase opportunities yourself. YOU do the initial legwork by ALWAYS keeping your eyes open each and every day and asking questions about things that look like opportunity. 

then, show these potential deals to ANYONE you have worked with previously (and their friends/anyone you may get referred to)

developing a pipeline of potential project will position you for growth. be ready to expand (spend money)and put responsible colleagues in place to handle increasing company responsibilities.

looking forward to learning more from this forum. when you refer to wholesaling a multi-family transaction, how does that differ from being a broker on the transaction? are you purchasing (taking title) and then resellilng?

cheers
