Having as many agents and wholesalers that you have confidence in, and training them to do a little homework before they present you a deal will save you time and work in your favor.  

Claiming they made $200,000 on some deal isn't applicable to what they present.....here's why;What I did or do can not be reproduced by anyone else on the planet, each deal in RE is different, buyer and seller circumstances, personalities, financing, capital structures, the market, the location as well as other current aspects will never be duplicated.

by contrast, my favorite cartoon caption reads, "Out of the way, you swine...an Architect is present."

That's hard to mimic with multi.All that said, if a great multi deal presents itself I'll be on it like white on rice...
