I'm just a bit tired of asking realtors....

There is a creative financing strategy that is used to help buyers, sellers, Realtors and even flippers turn hard to do deals into closed deals using owner financing.

I just thought about all the rules and regulations you have to follow as a realtor that you don't as an investor.

Although, I would like to point out that not all brokers are Realtors but all Realtors are brokers.

People that look for real estate in a certain area are either in that area or look for websites featuring listings from that area.The real estate websites are all powered by their respective Board of Realtors MLS feeds.So even if you have website ranking first for a competitive search term (Aspen Real Estate, if your property was in Aspen) you would still miss out on the 100's of website from local real estate agents that could feature your listings.If the project is big enough it could work to just focus on web advertising with pay-per-clicks on the major search engines.

This is a technique the realtors and seasoned investors use.

There is a guy here with a site - I think it is realtybaron, where you can negotiate commissions with realtors anonymously.

How can I get comps (CMA - comparative market analysis) on a property without a realtor?
