Hey All - I'm looking to connect with New York licensed Brokers (Preferably located in Manhattan or on Long Island.) 

My broker keeps telling me that if I want to sell, now would be a great time.

As you learn all about MF investing, find a commercial MF (loopnet, brokers, property managers, off-market, owners) to learn and practice how to underwrite (start with the BRRRR tool here on BP) and parallel to all that, find a mentor/accountability coach (me) to partner (me) with, network for investors everywhere you can to acquire your first 65+ unit deal.

pretty tough... if your not a very good commercial broker.. and know that end of the business I think pretty much a waste of your time and energy.. the market is too thin

Private money will be your only option and you'll pay a premium for that.If you are having a hard time ask a mortgage broker or real estate agent.

You would show the commercial broker your funds letter from the 1031 company that you are ready to go and in the ID period.Then the broker would spend time with you figuring out investment options if your goals were realistic.Theoretical is just like play money it's not worth anything.

Does anyone have an insurance broker to recommend in North Carolina? 

Hey all,I'm in the process of getting my RE license but have already started to casually connect buyers and sellers on some deals that normally would be represented by a broker on one/both sides. 

Im a broker in Tulsa.  

Finding an end buyer is BROKERING.
