Lead generation service is different because an agent pays lead generators without any direct coupling of the payment to closing (but with an understanding that if the leads are nonsense it'll put an early end to the relationship).It's this situation that gave rise to wholesaling, because ultimately a wholesaler is doing that same deal-finding service, but they get around the licensing requirement by buying the property for themselves with an assignment clause, and then resell it to an investor at a premium that ends up like a fee but officially is counted as equity gains on a real estate transaction in their own name.

The reason that this math works out is because there is a relationship to the “25 x rule,” which is called “The 4% Rule.”

Although we likely find better deals than OOS investors with our relationships, you can still purchase solid deals on the MLS that produce 10% cash on cash and in areas that are gentrifying and growing.

I'm interested in purchasing 1-2 properties a year minimum in the Charlotte, NC area, so looking to build a team that can help me grow my business in that area and develop some great relationships in the process.It's a pleasure meeting you all and looking forward to learning and growing with you all. thank you. 

Sourced for a personal client relationship.

It really depends on your realtor and your relationship. 

This deal is the result of good relationships formed and value added over the course of 2 years.

It can create stress in relationships, I would rather avoid.

@Jason Wiser if you have an offer in, if the property is on the MLS and you have a buyers agent.
