@Steven Catudal- LLC with detailed operating agreement- Bham has tons of Sec8 opportunities.  

However, he asked me to sign a one-year Exclusive Right to Represent agreement, as presented to him by his brokerage.His interpretation is that it applies only when he materially assists me, but I think the boilerplate brokerage language he was given reads much more broadly:"If during the term of this Agreement Buyer enters into a contract for the purchase of Property through the services or efforts of the Broker or Buyer’s Brokerage Firm, or by or through any other persons during the term of this Agreement" (emphasis mine).My concern is that, under my interpretation, if a fellow real estate investor wants to unload a property or if I get pointed to an opportunity by a former agent, colleague, or friend, this agreement could create an obstacle to moving forward with the deal.In the end, I didn’t sign.

We plan to stay in this house for more than 5 years unless another great opportunity arises, but maybe it is best to allocate a bigger portion of savings to our real estate investment savings account than our home improvement savings account for the first few years.

Knew it was coming but there's still great opportunities out there

Marilyn had acquired a package deal of six houses around this time and I knew this was my last opportunity to make significant revenue before things got scary.

Networking with the professionals in your market will start to open doors and opportunities to collaborate will arise! 

If you’re considering switching careers, pursuing a license could be a great opportunity.

Quote from @Zongfu Li: An agent named Mathew Dial contacted me for loan opportunity and told me how flexible and how easy they can provide bridge loan lending and conventional lender.

There's definitely some opportunity with people wanting to make moves post-storm.

It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.
