Hey guys, some really good points here, I was acutally looking into a ski rental investment in Vail/lionshead area and wanted to get some of your feedback.

A broker will require a cut of the commish, so you can discount it if your broker allows, but can't waive it entirely.

They will take a cut but will do a lot of the leg work.

I attended the Rich Dad academy and I acutally liked it.

Instead of holding on to your loan and facing the risk of interest rate change (since bank receives fixed payment from you for 30 yrs in exchange for lump sum) - they will sell this (to someone who wants to submit a lump sum in now exchange for receiving fixed future payments for 30 years, like an insurance company).The bank is an intermediary between buyers and sellers of assets - they make a cut on the spread and transaction costs.

I'd spend my time networking with money providers referred by people who aren't going to get a cut by sending you to some marketing website.

With banks, mortgage brokers, stock brokers, insurnace companies, rating agencies and others all taking a cut of these products, the demand was insatable.

I will work with investors all day long, but I never ask them for a cut of their proceeds.

So if any of you Rockstars out there want to throw a newbie a bone, I'm looking for that super talented agent you previously worked with that seem a cut above the rest operating in the Burlington County area of New Jersey.

One was a single family for 211K and the other was a cute 2 unit for 245K.
