Look, I'm a broker and I make my primary living selling houses and small MF. 

Happy to make a connection for you.Your commission and split will be laid out by your managing broker.

Regarding homeowner's insurance, I would recommend just contacting a local insurance broker in your area and let them know you're looking to switch your HOI policy to a landlord policy. 

Especially if you're a first-time portfolio buyer, these online platforms can help you raise capital from multiple investors.Work with an experienced commercial real estate broker.

Yes, there are contracts, there is written communication behind every agreement, but in my 14 yrs as a landlord, and 17 yrs working in commercial real estate, talking with people (tenants, brokers, contractors, etc) is always best.That being said, if you are serious about buying any property and you struggle with the likely tenant/landlord relationship, I would begin interviewing property management teams, to take the direct tenant relationships off your plate.  

Hello Everyone - I am a realtor, appraiser, now mortgage broker in Canada and I also own an investment property.

Local residential brokers or property wholesalers are probably great resources for you 

Hey @Nicholas Guggino - my name is Mo, I'm a broker & investor in NYC/LI.

If you negotiate price on a home, market that home or contract publicly, locate a buyer, sell to that new buyer and make a fee for it, that constitutes brokering without a license.

Those fees go to the Broker not the agent… in many cases it’s a fee that the office pays to the company itself (like a franchise fee).
