Determine what size property you want to start looking for, and then reach out to realtors or RE brokers to help you find it.

There are mixed reviews on whether this is a positive or a negative, but if the other factors have been met, this is another great sign you've found a company dedicated to providing a quality product and resident to manage.Also, even though some of the prices look like there is a premium in price point, you have to find the value in the services being provided: Extensive research in the submarkets in their city, leasing services, value add to the property, and property management. 

If you build the value good enough early in the call they will make a fight or flight decision at this point , then fax them the contract and get their word that they will do the deal and set up a phone call for after they sign it and send it back to you.

I just bought a deal that was great and the wholesaler made 36k, which is more than made on it, and I congratulated him after I saw it at the doc signing. 

You'll have to trust your gut in terms of whether or not a follow up with the deselected options is necessary after you've made a decision.Agents I've worked with in the past haven't asked me to sign an exclusive representation agreement until we get to the point of making the first offer.
