@Nathaniel Birdsong I recommend you attend the local REIA and the Greensboro Deal Maker Sessions to network with like-minded REIs.

(And just in case you were wondering, I'm not promoting myself in the least with this post, as I personally don't engage in general brokerage outside of immediate family/friends.

So it may be that you just need the right topic to help you to engage.

I very much appreciate your comments  and will carefully consider them before engaging in my first RE deal.

Are you asking to track the workflow process for rehab/flipping/contract work or the workflow that starts with seller engagement through to closing?

I think if you intend to engage the services of the real estate agent later in the transaction - in other words, there is an assumption of payment - it would be fine to reach out for comps.

Join Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (go to Meetup and type in Triangle Real Estate Deal Maker).

Thanks all for the welcome, looking forward to engaging in the community here!
