I found this site while doing some due diligence on a real estate brokerage firm and discovered this hidden (to me anyway) gem of real estate investing information.I live near the beach in Orange County currently renting a place at 0.3% of its Market Value (I like the 2% metric people use here).

So it would be reasonable to presume prices would be firm or grow over the next two years.

Basically, my brokerage firm allows a customer to borrow against their current assets for a variety of uses, including real estate purchases.My thoughts were that it could be very useful for making cash offers.

There are a bunch out there so look at other agents sites you like and you can usually see who the hosting company/created at the bottom of the webpage.

I am a FIRM believer that you will only get out as much as you put in.With all that said what would you suggest as a solid marketing budget to start with from your experience?

The first two searches are being conducted by a law firm I engaged to help me with the close after I became a bit nervous about actually signing contacts with a REO.

there's a section that speaks to offering to pay part of their commission to a firm that produces a buyer."

We have a SOW, a firm budget, and project calendar.

The in-office email blasts of listings from fellow agents in the firm keeps me abreast of great investment property listings even before they hit the MLS.A couple of cautionary notes about the agent track:1) There is a significant startup cost associated with becoming a Realtor.

Is it ok to mailto the offices of the law firm?
