I hear it often from investors that are mainly in the residential space.The reason they say that is they simply do not have the connections in the larger player space as they do not do most of their business there.Just like residential investors have databases so do commercial investors and brokers.

Be aware that Baltimore is very much a cash-player town.  

The Atlanta Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) is a great place to network and get to know different players in the real estate game.

Unless its very low valued assets or a very well established TK type player that has deal flow.  

The local economy and players (like yourself) can and should get first dibs on the good merchandise.

You have an MP3 player in your truck?

They are tad slower than erent, however its completely without cost to you or your tenant (unless they use a credit card). at 5 days... if you want to pay they will get your money in 3 business days.I would seriously consider all the players out there - many could be built on the same "shifting sands" that erent is... and just haven't shifted yet.

I like most of them by the way.I take it your buying something out in Yakima or walla Walla I love the wine that comes from that region.Money is made when wineries are sold... and when if your lucky your brand gets nationally renouned and some other player with lots of money comes in and buys you.My business partner for years   was president of Beringers and took it public and sold it to Fosters..

What personality types, profiles, etc are the average people who will 'try' to get into any form of RE investing.And who could be players against you.

If they give you crap throw it back and tell them....what they want is to deal with players with money for volume transactions.
