I put together a investor/partner team, recruited my wife Kathlynn to manage the business, applied for an SBA loan through a local bank and worked hard to convince the ACE Corporation itself this store was worth saving.

Hey BP folks. My first deal is going to be through creative financing / sub 2 and was wanting some advice on who I should have on my team ( Contractor, Attorney, Title Company, etc). Is there anyone that is a must hav...

So you are recruiting members and selling products.

You can't be lazy/ignorant and succeed at this business long-term.Also, your wife is smart. from what I've seen directly, husbands take all the fun, interesting work for themselves, and then recruit their unwilling wives for all the boring grunt work.

So I'm just going to put it out there and hope to get some implementable advice.I'm 45 and enjoyed a career as a Contract Recruiter.

My broker does not offer a referral fees if we bring other agents in and I am not a recruiter.

Trying to recruit top agents from bigger companies that charge far more  IS VERY difficult.. top producing agents dont care that your going to save them 20k a year in fee's when they are making 500k  or more a year its just not worth the hassle..

I assume my starting point is to get a letter of intent (LOI) from a bank, recruit my investors, then recruit my sellers.

Hi there,Anyone have luck recruiting and signing corporate retail tenants without going through a broker? 

I had been VERY turned off by two hard pitches from EXP agents, promoting "wealth through recruiting", but decided to give EXP an honest look.EXP has outstanding tech and the DMB actually walked me through the Maine terms and forms so I could write an offer on my own home.
