really depends on what niche an agent is in.when I sold real estate I was a land specialist..so my week days were spent in the morning getting to the golf course by 10am finishing about 3pmgo home.. check my message machine ( remember those)  eat dinner then at about 7pm ( after everyone was done with dinner) hit the phones for about 1 hour setting up appointments for the weekend showings. 

as far as getting started you made a great first step joining BP and utilizing the endless knowledge and education available here, while i do not have a lot of experience working with partners i do work at the moment with family and working with family can be a nightmare. but i have read that partners work out sometimes to be a strong investing machine i have a colleague that bought a 6 unit building here in town with 2 partners and they have a nice structure in there relationship. 

I've been sitting here too long like this, it's a lot of money I need to make the right moves ...Please let me know which strategy is the best to start up my money machine. 

I had the Sean terry RVM lead machine but once the list got scrubbed there was only a few numbers left to call so maybe you have a different RVM resource.

@Richard Elvin they're cash machines when they work.

Our documents are locked up in their office, answering machine is full, as well as their voice mailbox.  

I think new RE investors tend to think of properties as ATM machines, and forget the human factor.

The amount of money needed to "feed the machine" is quite overwhelming.

From there we are building out what we are calling our "Deal Machine" - which is a direct to seller outreach strategy, and we are also going to build our "Capital Machine" focused on finding additional capital partners to add into our network that may be interested in participating in the deal flow that we have.

It was only a few years ago that as you drove down the QEW all you saw on either side was contractor stores - granite, tile, excavation machines, carpet, engineering, etc etc etc.
