I was thinking about contacting developers, and seeing if someone would like to partner.

There is a new one for commercial properties I just did an interview with the owner/developer of:acrescout.comAnother interesting site is energizedseller.com but can't remember if you can post listings there or just create an agent profile.

I once purchased a condo from a developer/converter who, because of 1031 Exchange rules, had to maintain ownership of at least 25% of the units in his 100 unit building for at least a year before selling.

Not only am I a researcher by profession, it's really something I love doing.

, and I introduced myself a few months back, but I wanted to do it again, as I think I have more clarity in where I'm heading now with RE investing (at least over the next 6-9 months) and wanted to share that.I'm a newbie investor, focused on becoming a great wholesaler, with a longer-term desire to be a buy-and hold investor and develop more sophisticated skillsets (lease options, foreclosures, sub-2, etc.).

Thanks Bigger Pockets and all of its users for sharing the information that has quickly helped me develop as an Agent in the REO market.

Hey guys.I'm developing my overall business plan and have a few questions.

A new house cat from Portland, OR just learning as a property locator for a private investor, real estate developer, and former broker of 19 years.He has taught me alot of common sense!

If you are also a licensed agent you will come across as competition.I would spend some time talking to agents and contractors to see what they need from the opposite profession.

Check with several agents til you start to develope a consensus and a feel for the area.Don't rush and don't get emotionally involved in the transaction.
