Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers.

Just like a buyers brokers agreement you agree up front if you want to work with that broker you agree and go forward if not you don't start.. but bringing it into the deal mid stream don't personally care for that.

I am a Broker

As a Broker myself in California I woulld say hands down a 7 day listing for an exchange of a buyer is in your favor.  

So, investing in a market you don't know is like saying: I am going to open a retail business without knowing what product you will sell, how to source the product, or who your customer is and what drives them to purchase.  

Call the customer retention department at a credit card company you already have a credit card with.

I am a retired RE Broker with decades in the business and thinking of returning to it as either a Wholesaler or a Fix and Flipper, areas I have completed before and have experience in, and, having performed a lot of due diligence, I once again have been confronted by con men saying they are not gurus then try to sell me a service at $97 per month, or $129 p/m ( billed annually, with no trial period and no refund which comes out to being charged (1,548.00 ) along with other shysters charging upwards of $20,000 for a level in which I could actually MEET the Guru and bow before him in abject humility and profess my undying devotion to him for his enlightenment, while making my wallet lighter and my stress greater.

Realtors also have insurance, tons of regulation, and hopefully experienced brokers that are all very interested in protecting you from scams during the home sale process.This is a scam. 

When deciding between them, looks for flexible memberships, no high-volume minimum, and customer service to help walk you through the process.

Hi All,When sourcing larger commercial deals, who are the brokers that you connect with most prominently and what markets do they operate in?
