Here are some questions I have thought of.When contacting the seller, what should I say to them, how do I work out an arrangement to get paid for referring the buyer to them?

I work out of the TREND MLS for South Jersey & Philly.

@Carole G.No large complexes, however have owned small apt. building, mixed use buildings, commercial buildings, farms, timber land, land subdivisions, etc.imho, there is a niche of say 5-20 units where its too small to have a full time manager, but if you manage yourself or have a part time manager it can work out for you.In the past I worked for a company that did a lot of management, and I've managed lots of places myself, and it is a given that nobody will manage your properties as well as you will.

Some states mandate the borrower and mortgagee sit down and try and work out a plan as an alternative to foreclosure.

More risk buying something that will eat you alive in holding costs if things don't work out.

I understand investors with little capital trying to make something out of nothing.I see these types of deals not work out more times than they do.

This might be okay but seems like more nebulous and I wouldn't want to risk it.3) Tell them they may want to list it, not offer to list it or refer them someone, and ask that they call you back if that doesn't work out.

The more motivated they are the more you can negotiate and work out a deal.

They were preparing to rent it out if things didn't work out with me.

All,I am currently managing my 2 SFRs with my real estate agent as I work out of the country and cannot do it hands on.I am planning to buy either 2 duplexes or a 4-plex by the end of the year and will need professional property management to handle the work load.My properties are between White County and Hall County GA.
