Joshua,

Great idea. Here are my suggestions:

Valerie Fitzgerald, author, Beverly Hills real estate broker

Sam Zell, some real estate guy from Chicago

William J. Poorvu -- Harvard Professor of Real Estate, investor/developer

R. Donahue Peebles -- Wash, DC-based developer

Jim Randel -- author, 'Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur', real estate attorney, investor/developer

BP's own John Holdman, Mike Oh, Rich Weese, Nick Johnson, Will Barnard, Stephani and Frank Gallinelli

George H. Ross, real estate attorney, Senior Counsel, The Trump Organization

Donald Trump, some real estate guy from New York

Roger Staubach, Founder, The Staubach Company

Barbara Corcoran, Founder, The Corcoran Group

Bruce Norris, Founder, The Norris Group, investor, educator

That list should be a good start.

Rich,

I couldn't agree, more.

I have met Will and his partner, Michael, a couple times at investor meetings. Though I've yet to meet them, Nick and Justin S have been very helpful in the short sale arena.

There is a ton of opportunity found on this sight, available to anyone who chooses to get busy and hustle.

Rael,

Google "commercial real estate broker" + Canton, Michigan. 651 hits came up. That should give you some ideas to start with.

Much Success

Drenda,

Congrats on your first deal.

David,

I couldn't agree with you more. Unless you grab properties before they hit the MLS you're going to be doing some serious digging before you hit paydirt in my market.

Allen,

Send me a PM, please. I have someone for you.

Hey Guys,

The site is actually www.retran.net

llena P,

The MLS in Los Angeles can be a nightmare. "Investors" are bidding up the price of properties beyond thresholds where deals no longer make sense.

However, jotting down info on properties with obvious distress characteristics -- over grown grass, furniture piled out front, boarded up windows -- could lead to potential deals. I found one in Encino that I will investigate, tomorrow.

Just my two cents.
