Strong tennis players get even much larger price break in exchange for hitting !

I did a lot with exchange students... the experience really hammered home the idea that while some things may be forgivable across language barriers... math is pretty much the same everywhere.This also brings to mind one of my rules of thumb - if I have to break out a spreadsheet and figure out what I should be invoiced for a subcontractor because they're not capable of doing it themselves, I probably won't be using them in the future.

I mean no waiting, no MLS, just find a local investor and give them a great price in exchange for a speedy sale.

James,I have a couple buy and hold rentals, I am looking to exchange at least one of those and branch out into smaller properties that have a greater return.

OK - so, you mean to tell me that you would trade $30,000 in exchange for $5,000 which may happen (of the roof doesn't leak, units don't get trashed, tenants don't skip in the night, main water line doesn't freeze, bed-bugs aren't brought in, and a million other things..)  

The lender requires whatever amount of downpayment and writes a note for the remainder in exchange for the mortgage on the property.In the case of a wholesaler, your payment is usually layered as a markup on the price of the property, so I guess you would need to ensure the downpayment made by the buyer was sufficient to cover both the downpayment requirements of the vendor and your markup.When you start doing this, it kinda makes your payment look more like a fee for service or commission.  

Find them and offer value to them in exchange for being their shadow...Good luck, man!

The agent is representing a buyer that needs to do a 1031 exchange in a fairly short amount of time - so he's literally the buyer's agent.  

Welcome to BP @Billy Maloney My wife and I met and got married in Boston (Waltham more precisely) and we also got our start in real estate there.

I'll bet you know a good lawn service who would work with you and do it for free or greatly reduced in exchange for the chance to get a long term client.
