I have seen old churches converted into antique stores.   

Need I say more.Savings: $6,000Talent: I love details, photography, and I'm web savvy because I'm a web developer even though I'd like to be a full time investor and say good-bye to tech. 

I would like to have help finding properties (web pages or other strategies to find them) , help making a portfolio to show a bank when i find a good deal, access to banks and places that offer money for flips, and someone to review/remind me of things i might forget being new to investing.

They'd come to the site, clock out to another job 40 mins away, and clock right back.Excessive trips to parts store half hour away for stuff that should be on their truck.

For example, at this time of year we give our tenants a gift card to a local store.

No retail or grocery store jobs....I have my realtor license.

Since we are buying several of each item (we need 2-3 sets now) and hopefully will be rehabbing 8-12 by year 2/3, has anyone had success negotiating a bulk discount with either the big box brands or with a smaller family owned appliance store or even a retail distributor. 

I am not smarter then google.I do not hate you b/c you are good.I do not feel stupid.I do not wish to continue arguing with you about this.I wish you luck in your en devours.Just for fun I thought i'd share my monthly web traffic as well

Have a look at their web site, there is a meeting tmrw night.

I see a lot of newer agents if they don't have a warm market or sphere to tap into.. they will get on a big producers team.. this can jump start you.out our way agencies have lead creation systems and will literally hand you web leads for listings or sales.My wife had taken a few year hiatus and to kind of jump start ( her normal business is referrals) but she wanted to work some leads and get going and it worked very well she made many sales and got a few listing which in this market is simply money in the bank. find your niche.. and remember 95% of agents all try the same thing.. you may want to specialize.. and commerical agents though dog tough to start if you make it.. its a really good business once your established.
