There are ways for everyone to work together and create win-win-wins if all parties decided to put aside their preconceived notions and collaborate. 

I look forward to absorbing as much as I can from people more successful than myself and fostering mutually beneficial relationships through the Bigger Pockets community.

I bet we could collaborate on those.. what I see there is not a lot of arch diversity and pretty straight forward.. but one must know how to handle the local city officials.. boy it can be very frustrating in IL to be rehabbing and building.. with all the different entities who have a say

@Dave Foster great point.

WE and I include WE as Me we all have business's we are trying to foster and move forward.. 

Only problem is that your odds of buying a property at 50% of current value that needs no work, while bidding against other investors, are about the same as me scoring a date with Jodie Foster this Friday night.

When you click on their 'Real Estate Brokerage' page, there are no broker profiles listed and they say  "...we launched Equity Realty, a real estate brokerage that works in collaboration with our law firm."

For the last 20 years I've been maintaining and remodeling a portfolio of single family homes with second dwelling units, in Kensington, Orinda, and El Cerrito.I greatly enjoy helping others achieve financial independence and peace of mind.I'm interested in meeting with anyone wanting to collaborate. 

In Northern Kentucky most homes sell for 94% or more of list price and while everyone wants a bargain you also need to keep in mind that most homes will sell for a fair price these days and it’s your job to be realistic in your search so you do not only set yourself up for disappointment but you also respect the time and effort that your agent is giving you to help foster a successful transaction. 4.Lastly when you do find that home be sure to not be overly picky on the minor details.

Thanks @Dave Foster and @Ralph C.I was getting worried for a sec.
