Works best if you have a property under contract first, show your potential partners how much they will make and how long it will take.Look at 50 houses in one area, become an expert in that neighborhood  of valuesDo something to earn an extra $100.00 per day (read the book)Good luck

I'm looking for a foreclosure-specialist broker in the Raleigh, NC area, the kind who wants to earn himself 12-30 deals per year and knows how to run the numbers to make that happen.Thanks!

Repeat business and referrals is what we want, we earn more that way than percent profit, plus it adds to scale our business and keeps our calendars full.

The best I could do for a new agent was to just give them one of my properties to list ( at a reduced fee) to gain experience doing the real thing. the bigger companies have the focus on training and that is what most need in the first year.  

(Gasp, sometimes even we wholesalers have to do something to earn our keep. 😜)3)  Are there any city programs out there available for assisting the buyer in fixing up the place.  

However, if it does work out as a rental, my calculations indicate that I will earn significantly more by renting and holding the property for a few years before selling. 

Keep in mind a larger down payment also means a reduced note amount and reduced cash flow. 

In-fact, I think it is a good move in any territory, regardless of where you are in the country (LA, PHX, NY, CLE, etc.) it is a good way to build wealth long-term, hopefully reduce the cost of your living and begin building wealth for a very low cost relative to your purchase price.

Bye bye house, cars, retirement, rentals, and any future earnings if those don't cover it.

The process many people refer to as "house hacking" can have many of the upsides of real estate investment while reducing many of the risks.
