When you have a good understanding of your RE interests and goals, start making calls to listing agents, private sellers, lenders, property managers, tax assessors, town road crews, water/sewer departments, etc, etc.Talk to them, not just about the property you may have called about but general info pertaining to their specialty.

(Not always a bad thing... but not my style.)

I have been fortunate to connect with a private equity firm this past week.

What do people pay a realtor on a private sale (I found the property with direct mail) to handle the closing process, home inspection, etc...?

Hi Brandon,I recently had a contact with this company/guy/group.I manage a wholesaling group in facebook and a guy by the name of Decker Randolph posted about private money lending in the sum of $150,000 @ 0% for 12 months.

Will a private money lender loan on this with no money down...or would it be easier to try and find someone to do a joint venture?

are they local credit unions, local banks, private money?

Its best if comps are the same style (e.g., ranch w/ basement, ranch w/o basement, two story, trilevel).

Hi BP community,My wife and I are private real estate investors here in Atlanta.

I will try to get private financing at 10% interest for the downpayment.
