For brokers, it is a numbers game and most of them want to consistently bring on new agents.You may have to meet with multiple brokers to decide which is the best fit for you.All the best!

You can test that side of it out to see if it's a good fit for you, but take some time to find which side is the right fit for you because that will be a key to achieving long-term success.Also build as many sponsor relationships as you can in the beginning because that'll give you plenty of options when you find a deal. 

Other reasons could be related to title or physical defects (i.e. foundation issues).

Then I look for properties that fit my parameters…and I always ask for owner financing…even though I might use that mortgage broker.

Nailing down a buy box in the area, funding, and having a plan will come out of absorbing a ton of knowledge and narrowing down to what makes the most sense to you, what fits your life, and what fits your goals the best. 

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it! 

Although we decided it wasn't a good fit, I'd surely appreciate your generous offer to share GC's PM's etc. 

By getting to know someone’s work ethic, goals, and character over time, you’ll be in a much better position to determine if they’re a good fit for a long-term collaboration.

We’ve found a niche area that fits our budget and personal vision, and it has usually taken a few months of regularly analyzing deals to find something that works for us.
