GREAT insight imo :)There are lots of players in the selling supplies and tools in REI, BP only being one. 

Most topics have 5-15 main players comment back and forth and a variety of lurkers that just view things.How can we get more people engaged in conversation on topics?

The NAR is a major player in this new law.

Further, I'm assuming you are flirting with getting into this industry which is a very small one in which most of the serious players know each other.

I wanted to work in this field to learn from the top players in the Real Estate game. 

I only highlight them because these things have helped me to not only be a team player but to grind and go get it!

. :-)The idea of bringing major players like this together is exciting!

hello everyone, i'm a beginning investor and i was just wondering how do i go about putting my team together (attorney, accountant, title rep, insurance rep, mortage broker, contractors and etc)like am i suppose to try to put this team together before i try to make deals or am i suppose to already have a property/deal under contract to be even taken seriously from any of these partiesbecause some times i feel weird of the thought of even contacting these highly busy people and trying to interview them when i don't even have a property under contract or even may need their services at that moment (but i know i will)(now i know all of these players wont come on my team at the same time) but can someone help me out with the order i should seek to get these players on my team in, and some questions i should ask each individual when talking/interviewing them to make sure i partner/hire a great personi recently found a local investment club so i'm gonna start there (which i think picking up the phone book is easier some times then doing all this networking to find my team members), but i feel i'll only be successful in bulding my team if i know what questions to ask each person, and if i know what level of importants each one holds and etc

This is key, a vital player on your team.

They are competitive, and there are some regular players who battle for the better deals.  10 percent is due at the auction in cash or bank check.
