I'm looking for an agent primarily to list the property but also for advice on the the market, what rehab/finishings are desireable locally, CMA and help finding future deals.Any input would be greatly appreciated!

If the PM company is using public contractors, then maybe they would share that information but you probably wouldn't get as good of a deal as you would with the PM company involved.Why don't you just call a bunch of contractors and get bids, ask as many questions as you desire.

Then anyone can attend either or both if desired, and a meeting in Utah County would be better than driving an hour up to Layton in the future.I have done several hundred deals in the the past 20 years.Mark

I don't think one is better than the other because everyone has different reasons for getting into real estate and it may be a little more difficult for you to find a team that can support your desire to work with investors.

Did you have a desired percentage of sales price that you aimed for or was it a pre-determined minimum profit?

They had skin in the game because of the time, thought, desire to get the property for themselves.It all worked out well and I am very blessed.So, I suggest to start at the high end and work your way down.

Surely being an investment guru yourself you know these less than desirable alternatives.

If it's an older building you have to make sure there is a demand and what amount retrofits would cost to make it desirable in today's market.

The main things we had in common were: The powerful desire to succeed.

Since these are other people's money (OPM) I think this can assist anyone who desire to use an alternate to loans.Free Sample *FREE MONEY Sources Herehttp://www.grants.govhttp://www.grants.gov/assets/GDG_AppUserGuide_0207...http://www.foundationcenter.org/getstarted/individ...http://www.fundsnetservices.com/http://www.kn.pacbell.com/products/grants/locate.h...http://www.usa.gov/http;//www.govloans.gov/http://www.sba.gov/SBIR/indexsbir-sttr.htmlhttp://www.sba.govhttp://www.fsa.usda.govhttp://www.sba.gov/financing/loanprog/caplines.htm...http://www.dla.mil/dbhttp://osdbuweb.dot.govhttp://www.sba.gov/INV/venture.htmlhttp://www.sba.gov/financing/lendinv/lowdoc.htmlhttp://www.sba.gov/serviceshttp://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/inv/index/...http://www.rihric.com/awards.htm_______________________________________http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/onlinewbc/...http://www.sba.gov/idc/groups/publi/documents/ba_p...http://www.schoolgrants.orghttp://www.grantsolutions.gov/http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.FIRST_TI...http://www.womensbusinessgrants.com/who.shmtlhttp://www.ount-me-in.orghttp://www.libmsu.edu/harris23/grants/3women.htmhttp://www.fundsnetservices.com/women.htmhttp://wwwwomensnet.nethttp://www.ehome-basedbusiness.com/articlesResidential Grantshttp://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheaphttp://www.govbenefits.govhttp://www.rurdev.usda.gov.rhs/http://www.hud.gov________________________________________Unemployment and Emergencieshttp://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/uifac...http://www.salvationarmy.orghttp://www.communityactionpartnership.comhttp://wwwwroc.org/factsheet/emergenygrant.htmhttp://www.dhhs.govEducationhttp://www.ed.gov/programs/iegpsflasf/index.htmlhttp://www.worldstudy.gov/overview2.htmlhttp://www.iie.org/programs.nsep/graduate/award.ht...http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/fsa/index.htm...http://www.ed.gov/programs/iegpsirs/inde.htmlhttp://www.studentaid.ed.govhttp://www.rankinfoundation.orghttp://www.aauw.org/fga/fellowships_grants/http://grants.nih.gov/grants/index.cfmhttp://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocfo/grants/g...http://www.spencer.org/programs/grants/research_gr...Raymond Ebbeler AKA the White Hat Specialist
