Who are some key players that can help you locally such as agents, contractors, etc.?

Or, you can call the big players and see if they're looking for partners, as they get lots of deals brought to their doorsteps.

Core Logic, Experian, LexisNexis and a few more niche players like them have already tried it and failed miserably.

The issue I seeing in College Station is all the Big Players see that as well.

As you can see I am a brand new player in real-estate investment, so I just started to read Brandon Turner's book: Rental Property Investing.

What was important was Trust, good planning, good communication, honesty, integrity of all players, your prior due diligence, personal awareness & to just proceed w caution on each step yes... but move forward and Proceed on!

What are the criteria that makes someone a top player and what would you suggest are the not obvious ways to get to the top?

Engineers and the zoning dept know the big players , you bring something to them and lots of times , they "accidently" tell one of the players and the property gets sold in a day .

@Kevin ChristensenAll the big players Fannie, Freddie, HUD, are going to have a not assignable clause in their contracts.
