It took valuable time away from what I thought I paid for: learning commercial real estate.

The definition of a broker is: Any person, partnership, association, or corporation that sells (or offers to sell), buys ( or offers to buy), or negotiates the purchase, sale, or exchange of real estate, or that leases (or offers to lease) or rents (or offers to rent) any real estate or the improvement thereon for others and for a compensation or valuable consideration.

If you're looking for a place for a welding shop, you'll be paying a higher price to find a property zoned for that activity, but if you need a residential lot, that area is probably less valuable, because it is out of place for the intended use and less desirable.

Those are my starting topics but feel free to take this wherever you all see valuable.

Things like who is required to sign off on documents, who owns the shares, how the shares may be "unloaded", dissolution of the entity, types of business to be transacted - and many others might be needed.What types of valuable assets do you now own that you are seeking to protect?

So the thank you turns into asking for money for their valuable time and effort in helping others get off the ground!

I am sure you will find the site is quite a valuable resource and networking tool.

The MLS is also extremely valuable.

IMO, an agent is more valuable to me by bringing me the buyer than listing my property in the MLS.

I would throw deals on the "investor walls" hoping that "something" would stick....big mistake, but a valuable learning experience.As a wholesaler striving to build my buyers list, I've stopped chasing "everything" and started focusing on what investors really want.
