I am working with a group looking for rehab and flips in Las Vegas. They have a friend that is an agent but doesn't understand investing. There is no buyer agency contract signed with the friend.

I could use some he...

Marcello,I have found some small local banks that will work directly with you, but all of the big boys seem to use REO brokers.

I bought a property recently and there was a brokers fee that my realtor who was representing me on the buy side said that his broker requires it.

Why not offer to pay one of these brokers to run valuation reports for you?

Hi Chris, I ended printing out a Memorandum of Contract and taking it to the San Diego County Recorders office , only to find out that San Diego county does not provision/recognize the specified document.I requested to see the listing agreement from the agent and even called her broker and they never got back to me nor did I see the listing agreement.

Next to my property is a 24 acre parcel with B4 zoning that a developer wants to buy, his problem is it sits on the corner of 2 State hi ways, and the DOT wont let any developer have an entrance, its just to close to the traffic light, and a long time ago DOT bought easements, and other stuff.This is where my problem starts, and where I need some advice.Sellers want to sell the 24 acres, but anyone that buys it will need my land for access.all the developers that want the corner want to give me 100K an acre for it, but dont want to give me anything for the building becuase they say there going to level it.A commercial broker listed their 24 acres, but had them reduce their asking price by 500k telling them I was going to be hard to deal with because I wouldnt take 300k for my 3 acres with my building.My property brings in 40k clear a year, but could be up to 60k if they develop next to me with something nice, plus I have room for another strip if I wanted and saw needI own it free and clear, so I dont need to sell, but I cant see taking 300K.

Generally, wholesaling listed property is not a great idea... it's like brokering the broker's deal; don't expect to get too far. #1, #2, #3 depend on the contract and are negotiable. #5 is you take to the seller (assuming p;roperty is not listed.) #6 you may needs an inspection/contractor depending on your end buyer. #7 is no if you assign/sell the contract before closing.

At some point, most investors think about getting their broker's license.

If you can put together a set of "tools", and present them as "benefits" to other active investors, brokers, etc. you will learn the business hands on, and work yourself up to what you really want to do.

Now, I know how banks choose their listing agent/office/broker, they look (by maps, google, all means..) for offices within a certain distance from the property, and ask for a broker's price oppinion (BPO) from each of them, and choose the one gives the highest BPO.
