If you get your hands on a real estate agent that is willing to work with you as an investor, simply explain your business model to them in a nutshell, you don’t have to reveal everything obviously but you have to give them enough information so that they understand your goals.In exchange for them submitting offers, listing properties or whatever else you may have them doing for you and your business, you can exchange seller leads of people you spoke to who are not able or willing to do business with you because of the price disparity or whatever else and you can easily refer listing business to this real estate agent.

I have been a member of the site for a few weeks now and finally dediced to submit an introductory forum post.

Am I being paranoid or should I consider submitting my offer with an agent that does not have any sort of relationship with the listing agent??

NY is not like other states where there is an actual contract submitted with the offer (that the buyers either sign or don't) so the sellers can back out whenever they want as long as it is before closing with no penalty.

I'm a real estate agent planning investing on some properties and I would like to know if I can negotiate my own short sale deals and submit my own offers...

No need to offer anything out of the wholesale fee to the agent.You'll know when you submit the first deal.

In fact, the JV agreement can be submitted to the trust administrator.@ SherryA joint-venture agreement is a form of a closely held partnership specific to one type of investment.

Had the offers written, submitted on day 15.

Case #1: I submitted an all-cash offer on a short-sale back in August.

Get several contractor estimates to fix it up, and submit the HIGHEST one, knowing it won't actually cost that much?
