At that point, it's a race to see who calls the client first.You might consider setting up a farm area and then using one of the mailing companies to do regular mailings to start building up a presence in the neighborhood.By the way, your broker is being VERY generous!

@Ken Konecny It was just a regular single family in town.

He regularly inspected properties in that area and knew the stock very well.   

It's a great investment, so I told a realtor friend that I'm interested in multi-family and asked him to send me regular emails of listings in my area.After a couple months I called him to say, "I'm going to stay in my lane and stick with commercial."

Another method, although this is more complicated (and I've only seen it with securities, so you might want to talk to an attorney) is dilution; namely if one partner puts in more money afterward in CAPEX, the other partner's ownership is reduced.

@Sherwin Gonzales, @Daryll Penamora, and @Hyangsoon Collins, don't forget to direct message me the email address you'd like me to use to add you to the FB group and regular meeting invites!

My office has the Fannie Mae and VA foreclosure accounts so I regularly deal with flippable homes. 

Do not return their security deposit because the pictures the tenant sent you should suffice in court to explain to the judge why their security deposit was not given back. 

You can try starting with Basit who is a regular contributor and based out of NY.

I'm not necessarily new to the website or forums, but I feel ready now to reach out to the community and get involved with all these smart/experienced people.I currently work full-time in a business development manager role with a security/alarm company.
