...i reached out to an investor asking that i be added to their vip cash buyers list, as i have been given the green light by several buyers to bring sellers to table. she sent me a deal - its great, off-market in north cali with around 40 units, fully entitled. so i sent the deal to my cash buyers list and immediately got a buyer who wants it. i asked my investor friend if she pays a finders fee and she said yes...but since i know that my cash buyer is more than happy to pay above to asking price for the deal, id rather secure the contract myself and then assign it to my buyer but one obstacle i might face is that my pof isnt for 10 million its about half of that....with getting this contract myself also i dont have to worry about next time my buyer going directly to my investor and getting future deals that would leave me cut out of the deal.

You can also go to your local Real Estate Investor Association meetings to make some very valuable contacts.Start speaking with lenders (both big banks and the smaller ones) to get a feel of what they would require you to bring to the table.

Which one are you bringing to the table?

This is like allowing your dog to eat off the table at dinner it teaches the dog that it’s okay to do bad behaviors in the future .

I highly doubt that the vegas market will continue to rise over the next 5 years, and I highly doubt my little house will hit 400K.....so again, if I can take my 100K and run I won't mind leaving a bit of money on the table in exchange for guaranteed returns. buy when everyone is selling, and sell when everyone is buying  

This may mean you bring funds to the table.
