Hello everyone in the BP world. I live outside of Charlotte in a small town called Denver (of the East). I am currently self employed as a GC with my own company: Carolina Premier Homes. We have been in Business since...

I would say you need to find the contractors first. 

My first purchase, first property, I had a great realtor.

I use cash comps as the first people I look to sell wholesale deals to.  

If you get another offer then a kick-out clause to kill the first offer.  

First off, the cash-out refinance requirements have gotten tighter w/ the "seasoning" period.

There's no real hard and fast way or only 1 way or doing your first 2 points. your subject line suggests you're not looking to go to a large shop like a JLL or a CBRE which honestly I don't blame you those offices are usually pretty bloated.As far as monthly costs, if you are going to individually get a costar or other such license you are probably looking at $500-$1000 a month pretty easy in overhead once you have office dues, mls dues, marketing, etc. 

This gets people burned too many times by getting comps from a wholesaler, believing the comps, and then trying to sell it at that outprice that the wholesaler/bad agent gave is a huge miscalculation.

They take the path of least resistance and always seem to blame their PMC for everything that goes wrong.Recommend you take some time to understand what the above graph represents and why your PMC is probably not the problem.Regarding your two PMC idea - how many water meters are there?

You can network with other passive investors and see deals in real time.
