Best I can tell you is go to a real estate school for agents, become an agent or then begin selecting some niche and you'll understand that your local market defines what strategies need to be used, you don't just pick square pegs and then go look for square holes to fill.

I do referral fee's or build in commissions for agents all the time so it sounds like we are on the same page. 

Get a text book for agents to take their exam, $20 off Amazon, read it, Chapter One, Page One is where you need to begin. :)  

I try to get a few recommendations for agents, property managers, etc. from local investors before I even start looking in an area.

It allows for age pre 59 1/2 withdrawals and " substantially and equal payments " .

More bad ideas.If you're trying to learn, get a book, like a Principles of Real Estate for agents and read the dann thing!

You guys are too much.When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was that being dishonest was more of a pre-requisite for agents than some type of negative quality.

In order to qualify for the "housing for older persons" exemption, a facility or community must prove that its housing is:Intended for, and solely occupied by persons 62 years of age or older; orIntended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older.In order to qualify for the "55 or older" housing exemption, a facility or community must satisfy each of the following requirements: At least 80 percent of the units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older; andThe facility or community must publish and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate the intent to operate as "55 or older" housing; andThe facility or community must comply with HUD's regulatory requirements for age verification of residents.The "housing for older persons" exemption does not protect senior housing facilities or communities from liability for housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, or national origin.HUD is ready to help with any problem of housing discrimination.

Instead of begging for agents to open doors and make offers I will do those things myself now. 

Hi,I was wondering if any of the Atlanta members had any recommendations for agents specializing on investors.
