BUT, honestly, the hassle of leaving work to do showings, dealing with CO and inspection crap, following up with people, preparing pretty marketing packages, weeding out serious buyers, reviewing offers, dealing with the other brokers, staging or advice on de-cluttering that you wouldn't see on your own, professional pictures, etc. etc. ...I would work with a broker 100x over just to have those burdens taken off me.

Hello,I am currently working for a small Brokerage and I come across Multi Family owners who would like to see a proposal package put together, my old company had the resources to do this in house. 

I purchase my first two properties last October in a package deal, just a few months after graduation from university.

So why bother with someone unproven who is very likely to be a tire-kicker or simply not qualified to close.That is why I recommend that people put together a broker credibility package that establishes you as serious player and sets forth in very great detail what you are looking for, where, what price you are willing to pay, your ability to close, your closing team, the speed at which you are willing to close, whether you have relationships with lenders, other deals you've done before, etc.But you do not send this to a broker until you have already gotten a warm introduction from someone you both know.  

The package of laws is called CCIOA - if you google that you'll see all 40 pages of it.

I’ve been listening to every Podcast and I think I need to put my financial package together and start making a list of banks to pursue while I wait.Just to provide a little more Intel on my background.When I was in college my counselor told me I would earn a Million dollars in Real Estate someday.

Then they have packages and you are paying for stuff monthly you do not use and sifting and sorting through junk steps to get to where you want to go. 

I am using similar language and packaging in my D4D mailings to what I use in the mass equity mailings. 

I'm considering buying a 4 4-unit package and would like to start an LLC to buy and manage them.

Once you navigate a few co-op board packages and work with a few developers, you will be well-suited to begin a real estate career, even if you are starting part-time.
