@Mark Vieira   you will always have the bigger players at the auctions... they are the one's that have been doing it 10 20 years or longer the one's that come and go are the newbies..

Lots of good small brokerages here and bigger players as well.

If you're just starting out, pursue cities where big players aren't competing, like Richmond and Wilmington de.

I am working on refinancing the hard money loan.Kevin McNeely and Brian Adams are seasoned players in Killeen market and are also active on BP.Good luck to you.

From my experience, if you are willing take on the challenges and bigger rehabs, you will be better off as most of the bigger investors/cash players and flippers are not touching those.

I also believe that much above $4M and you are starting to alienate the majority of the private market buying this product type (my target market), and with the limited number of substantial players in this industry the majority of these transactions will be done principle to principle.

A Sunday trading session to let the big players unwind their positions.And Bank of America agrees to buy Merrill Lynch.What's next?

Just meet the players in your area and see if any would be willing to talk to a new guy.
