The realtor who hosts the meet up sells regularly to Chinese buyers.

Hi you guys,Admittedly I have been a poor host to this thread.

I've never done anything like this before, but I am willing to host any BP members who want to meet and see if we can learn from each other. 

Just caught the webinar hosted by Brandon Turner earlier today and got some great pointers.

Then you need a host, though Godaddy offers hosting I use bluehost.com, if you use this method you will need to point your nameservers from godaddy to bluehost (it sounds complicated but is not).

I figure you can not go wrong as NYC will always host employment opportunities, and I'm familiar with the direct train lines to NYC.

I could also bundle all the utilities in and take care of it for the college students and charge more each month.

Have to stick with private notes as I believe most bank-held notes tend to be sold in bundles...but that's not for this discussion. :)

That is why you hear the magic number of somewhere between 250 and 350 properties as being the critical mass number you  need to achieve to be profitable and that is with a full host of acceptable charges that a management company can capture.  

Unless you want the RE commission on your neck, along  with a host of other agencies, I suggest you not use bait and switch tactics or false ads as Daniel suggested.Start thinking of RE as being a social business, it takes people relationships.
