@Katie LeaThere is not much risk for you since you would typically not have to exercise the option to purchase if you decided not to move forward.

The best team-members for a savvy real estate agent usually come through networking and referrals -- when someone connects me with a person because they thought "oh, you would be perfect for this role Will was telling me about last week" then there is a much higher chance good things are coming, compared with a craigslist hire.I'd recommend getting really deep and nerdy here on BP and doing as much networking as possible in the DFW area and seeing if you can add tremendous value to any of the local real estate agents or brokers. 

I've heard it's 20% strategy, 80% mindset so focusing on these mindset exercises and posts from folks like you help!

But this caution is temporary, and ultimately results in deferred sales, as the economy, jobs, interest rates and consumer confidence all have far more meaningful roles in the home purchase decision in the months that follow than the result of the presidential election.

Hi all, what do you think is a fair fee for my role in finding investment capital for this land-development transaction?

@Joseph Hartley If I were in your position, I'd look for salaried jobs that are not extremely intensive and involved (perhaps admin related, support role, etc) with day-to-day tasks.

And keep in mind, like most things, luck plays a big role in REI. 

Neither do you so, any "negotiation" would be an exercise in futility at this point.

I wish I felt that way in my current role but I don’t.

just curious how you all go about finding someone to fill that role for you...
