CBRE, NAI, JLL, I would assume all the normal players

They are quick to respond with promises of good lead flow starting next week, however after two months of this they are sounding like a broken record player.

This way you can judge what keywords are being eaten up by the bigger players and what keywords the competitors are not utilizing which goes back to getting an edge in the marketplace.

Since you have so much lead time between now and when you want to purchase you next deal, I would spend it doing two things: Building your network, and learning your area.I would join your local REIA and go to all of the meet-ups you can to meet the players in your area and see if there is a niche that is under-served or if there are investors that you can start working with/partnering with now that doesn't cost you money out of pocket.

My thoughts:The guy's a player and being a player is not illegal.

I guess I blame the game but not the players..

Avid book reader, Chess player (not a pro), Soccer crazy, NFL liker, NBA watcher, Traveler.Virtual protege of Sir Ben Graham, Robert Kiyosaki, Jason Zweig, Peter Lynch, Richard Duncan and Napoleon Hill.

Once some builders working in my flat messed with the connections between the consoles / DVD player and the TV, and smashed a lightbulb then hid it in one of the drawers.At the time I was livid, but never thought to complain.

We worked on several projects for KB Homes, Lennar, Standard Pacific, and smaller players like Brehm Communities.

Certain players do consistently obtain more properties than others, partly due to marketing, experience level, or salesmanship.
