Perhaps we're just the blind leading the blind, but it feels emotionally safer having someone along the ride.

I think they do hourly plus bonus for any closed leads.

I have a natural draw towards the "flipping" sector, as my background tends to lead me in that direction, but at this point only consider this as a secondary form of investment, wanting to invest the majority of my time and money into buy and hold properties.My short-term goal would be to flip a few homes to help develop substantial capital to purchase my first multifamily property (triplex/quadplex), in which I would like to live/rent/self manage.

Go find another one to lead off the new year.Happy holidays!

Ask them if they would be interested if you would be willing to negotiate your commission. 1.5% of a $300,000 sale is better than 0% and this is also a good way to build up a clientele base that leads to referrals. 

leads?

Very few do and those that do, always call me be back b/c most investors and agents have no idea what to do with MHP leads.  

what other opportunities did it lead to?

Marketing For Seller Leads in Podio1.

I want to start whole selling and lead to bigger real estate investments.
