I got a call from a newbie wholesaler last week who is branching out virtually across Texas because, according to him, his home city is too saturated and you can't make any money in it.

Well, I'd only be able to help if it's in an older version of PowerPoint, as that's all I have in my old Parallels WinXP virtual machine on my Mac

I made this offer after evaluating what value I would really be bringing to the table that would interest an experienced investor / mentor - Virtually nothing.

Many times, relationships will lead to more relationships.Relationships like this have led me to virtually all the deals I have done in the last 6 months.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what the best way start building a Buyers list virtually.

Virtually anything that's not carpet in the main living area (entry/living/dining/hall) will be considered an upgrade by buyers.

Having said that if you have an agent that really will put you first and will work for you then it is only right they get the commission.When I did it the agents, especially the successful ones, would primarily show their own listings first, and sometimes exclusively if they had lots of listings as virtually all successful agents do, then their office listings next (higher agent/broker split), and would lastly show MLS listings.I wouldn't take much comfort interpreting laws that protect you when you are conducting business.

Praise the heavens and get another tenant.At the risk that my response is perceived negatively I do have to reply to you:That is quite some profiling: So from one question I am asking - where, by the way, you don't even know the real background and my intent for asking - you can tell that there is not much experience and virtually label me as some idiot novice.

It's allowed me to grow the brokerage with virtually no overhead and still have cash flow every month.

I plan to expand my knowledge with the virtual mentors I hope to gain here, and share my experiences as well as meet up with local Houston RE Investors.I'll let you all know when I get my first green house on the board.
