They would be putting deal analysis in front of their own private investors and they would instantly be your competition.With that said, I would like an investor's point of view on this situation:I am a new REI in the Boston area who can find motivated sellers (NOT 'DEALS') - Does it make sense for me to: 1) Take initial call from the seller, getting as much info as possible2) Put information in front of MY buyers list, and ask them to deduct my fee [ideally 10k to start- (these properties ARV is between 500k and 1.5M)]3) Ask my buyers for THEIR number to put the deal under contract (I can still send the buyers list my own rough numbers just for sh*ts, as I should be practicing anyway)4) Bring the first buyer who is available from my buyers list to the very first consultation (as my partner) with the seller to give them 'our' price5) If the seller is okay with it, my buyer puts it under contract and cuts me a check for my fee upon closing.Is this a situation that investors out there would consider in order to help wholesalers build a better name for themselves?  

@James Dobbins Boston is not the same as other markets.

I dont agree with a rent strike but I do understand the anger and frustration of people especially young people who see vanishing opportunites and have crushing debt because we as a society have decided we dont owe the next generation a basic education, healthcare, transport or safe streets.

That’s going to decrease the vacancy rate and increase rent on the vacancies that do exist.”A record number of 74,021 Floridians filed for unemployment for the week ending March 21.The top five high-risk metro areas with a large population deemed to work in “non-essential” industries includes: Las Angeles with 25.5% of its population, Orlando with 16%, Miami with 15.9%, Riverside with 14.3% and Oklahoma City with 14.1%.The metro areas with the smallest population deemed to work in “non-essential” industries includes: Minneapolis and Boston with 9.6%, Detroit at 9.4%, Milwaukee with 8.4% and San Jose with 7.7%.

There also seems to be a lot of bad blood between them.https://www.bostonrealestateinvestorsassociation.com/about-us/dont-be-fooled-by-other-groups-calling-themselves-boston-reia/https://bostonareia.com/which-boston-real-estate-investors-association-should-you-join/I'm hoping local investors can comment on their experiences with one or both, what led them in which direction, etc. 

I am a relatively new investor and new full-time Real Estate Agent based in Boston.

The MLS is limited in deals with good margins, as housing prices are increasing faster than rents in most areas (Boston proper being the exception).

I am fairly new to the REI world and am currently trying to bird-dog in Boston.  

Months supply = the inventory of homes for sale (at the end of a given month) divided by the average monthly pending sales from the last 12 months.Case-Schiller index for Boston is up 4.5%, slightly outpacing the national rate of 3.9%.

As someone who lives in the city, part of the draw of being here is proximity to high class educational institutions, but also proximity to the Boston tech scene for jobs.
