I just hope me being so open about my first blunder doesn't deter folks from wanting to work with me in the future.

Draw your own conclusion.Ask the broker who wants the listing for a full marketing plan including where besides MLS will she advertise the house, will she be using a professional photographer to take pictures, will she put together and have printed a full color brochure, will she be holding open houses for both other realtors and prospective buyers, does she have any exclusive contacts with out of town buyers and if it is an investment property does she work with investors.Depending on these answers it may be worth considering.In answer to your other question many real estate agents would prefer not to sell a flat fee listed property because they realize that the flat fee listing agent will do almost no work and they feel they will end up doing both the selling agents job and the listing agents job for 1/2 of the commission.

There might be appreciation prospects, but as far as cash flow, its impossible.These turn key rentals are rarely a great deal.

You can know all the techniques but if you don't have prospects you're dead in the water.I have many campaigns going at once.So for all the investors out there -especially the newbies -concentrate on marketing!!

People that when my connections with special asset managers and sellers wanting to do a deal can get it done.If I waste a sellers time or the banks time I lose credibility.Many on BP are starting out and only have 10k to 15k to play with and that's fine but I find people try to put themselves into larger deals they do not have the funds or experience for yet.Since I work in commercial I would be interested to know how many investors do mainly residential deals and how many do commercial and what size.That way with BP Pro you could submit a property to them with a reverse prospect list that matches their criteria.I don't know if BP does this already or not.I wouldn't mind paying 10 a month or something like that for PRO.Have you taken a poll of ALL your 60,000 members to see what they would pay to go PRO??

So i did another search with estimated equity under the mortgage prospects!!

But of course I have no conflict of interest and no prospect of direct financial gain nor any actionable inducement, all of which you can easily be accused of by "helping" potential investors fill out their personal financial statement used to determine their accreditation.After gaining experience with syndications that both profit and those that lose, you will begin to understand how every misstep, however well intended, will be used as a basis of action by investor's attorneys.

Definitely location, traffic, parking.Also:Direct Neighbors - savvy prospective tenants have been seen knocking on the doors next door to meet the neighbors.

My sister had a heck of a time with false alarms.Keep in mind that many police stations/LEOs won't respond to an automated call, they want a human to call it in.The first defense is simply a deterant, actually the signs will keep amatures away, kids looking for a few bucks or something to hock.If you are in a neighborhood I suggest meeting the neighbors and everyone keeps an eye out for each other.

I have a prospect to call tomorrow that has a 4 unit building with only one unit rented. the payment is around 1700 per month.
