Find the buyers, drive around town looking for active rehab projects, ask the contractor who the builder or the investor is, go to the building department in your county, find the guys there looking for permits, go to the closest investment club meeting, the point is to locate a handful of serious players in your town and find out what they consider a deal.

Grant is a small player when it comes to syndication.

I also know the courses contribute to the expense of running the REIA - or the dues would increase quite a bit.That said, real estate can be difficult to break into- especially if you don't know the real "players" .

For the last year or so we've seen some key deals made downtown by Prudential and other big players.

The seller is not disclosing a reason(we have asked) they are a big player locally and purchased the property in 2003 for 300k.

@Jay Helms IBM is no longer the big player.

Hey Luke — We’re based in Charlotte and work with a lot of the flip and construction players out here.

Find one that you like and I would say let them know you are a serious player.

I have no skin in this deal or relationships with any of the players, so I'm not interested in talking to him.  

If some members built up large regional gatherings and invited the BP power players and content kings to these events it would be a win win.
