This is purely a numbers game, some talent but mostly numbers.Good luck

To seek out (talent or clients, for example): bird-dogs recruits for the team.

Remember good investors don't just leverage money; we also leverage TIME (of which you and I have little) using other people's time and talents.

It is possible to do it alone but just not doable with my current obligations.Mark, your (any rehabber for that matter) talent certainly isn't underestimated in my book.

Outside of REI, I have a career in the IT space, having worked at various large financial firms in the NY/NJ area and now as a Solutions Architect at a small firm in the network appliance space.In the few weeks that I've been reviewing info here on BP, I have been very impressed with the sheer volume of talent and knowledge present in the community; it's truly humbling to see just how much there is to learn.

Thats me, dont know what you skill talent or interest level is.

Hi Bigger Pockets Community, I am continually impressed with the caliber of talent here on this site.

I am not talented in his areas of expertise.William, I have found that many but not not ALL RE agents hate investors operating on the premise that the investor is signing documents as a principal and assigning or selling their interests.Bill Gulley states why RE Brokers are concerned, especially for Errors and Omissions issues.

I've actually found some reasonable (SFH) properties in Connecticut by auction, that are below $100k, and that are not in a distressed zip code.These folks on BP seem to be willing and talented to explain the finer details of real estate investing.

,If I knew all the intricate workings of it I wouldn't need to hire talented lawyers like yourself. :-)But, here is my working understanding of it.My GRATs and GRUTs end up passing appreciated assets to the beneficiaries of the trust when the GRAT or GRUT terminates.
