Decide the type of properties you want to invest in, find a broker specializing in those properties, decide on your investment parameters, and then start looking at for sale properties.  

Through our local Ground team of Commercial Brokers and Architects.

The brokers I have seen for this type of deal typically take around 1% (not 3%).

We have bought through this realtor before.I selected a Buyers broker to represent me, versus working with the Owner/Realtor to buy his ground. 

A mortgage broker can also help find lenders with more flexible requirements.

I manage a couple in that area.I am also a broker in the area and specialize in acquisitions for STR investors, let me know if I can be of any help!

My title company has told me that it is impossible to do a simultaneous closing using only the end-buyers’ money to fund the transaction on a wholesale deal as they say it is considered a “dry closing” and is illegal in the state of Virginia.Someone from the title company also told me that there is a limit on the number of assignment deals that you can do before you are forced to get a real estate license or it is considered brokering without a license.

I am the principal broker of Reafco.

Being able to introspect about yourself and use other people's advice from their life experiences is super tricky.I heard Brandon Turner repeatedly say not to build multiple bridges at once, and that is EXACTLY what I did (tried to wholesale, broker, contractor, flip, etc.) and had to learn for myself. 

I would connect with a few lenders on here, find one local mortgage broker, and then call around to several regional banks and credit unions.
