I purchased my current home a few years ago and couldn't wait until I bought another property exclusively for rental/income purposes.  

The subsequent steps are similar to newspapers above.Auction.com - They list some (but not all) of the foreclosure sales/auctions in some locations. 

She would like to enter into a simple non-exclusive agreement that sets up the terms of this kind of transaction between us. 

I'm a real estate investor in (xyz MSA); I also own xyz Property Management - we manage about 240 units (mostly scattered-site) exclusively in this area.

Expecting a slow start as I become up to date on practices and build my funding.I will be working exclusively on non-performing firsts, at least to begin with.  

Normally on commercial deals the buyer pays the 3 points not the seller unless you are their exclusive listing agent. 

While in my opinion it's perfectly ethical (so long as you haven't signed an exclusive contract with any of them), it would seem you're wasting their time by having them all do pretty much the same thing.Of course, if more than one of them are bringing you pocket listings or providing some other unique service, that's a reason to keep more than one...but if they're just providing MLS data, I'd rather focus on building a strong relationship with the best one.

Take a look at your policy exclusions.

The better you are at organizing, the better you can manage your time.I know that if I was working on my REI exclusively, I would accomplish A LOT more than I am now, but my pay as a paralegal (not sure how it is nationwide, but here in the Bay Area it's pretty good), so until this REI thing 100% replaces my income, I have to strive to do it all.
