Thanks @Hadar Orkibi and @Dean Letfus, appreciate you both pointing me in the right direction.

I hope that this post was helpful and feel free to comment back if you have any direct questions.

Aloha BP members...What are the steps in buying a house directly from an owner without a real estate agent???

They can possibly point you in the right direction.

Good leads are the lifeblood of wholesaling and it requires an up front investment in marketing (primarily direct mail) to start. 

I’m staring a DMM campaign to find fourplexes in KCMO. I’m printing off return address labels and am wondering if I can put my title “First Lieutenant (name)” or not.

I feel like if I was Dr. Gist it wouldn’t matter...

LOTS of people get down payment gifts from family, and LOTS of lenders & borrowers prefer that gift funds go directly to escrow to keep the paperwork a little lighter (one less round of "source this deposit" and bank statements and transaction histories).

Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide a website for me to review?

As I am trying to learn as much as possible, it would seem ideal to work directly with another local investor.

I'm wondering what I can do to convince the seller when I don't have direct contact to them, and only through my realtor.
