I'm in NY,NY. Looking to see if there are any people out here I can network with. Looking to invest and eager to learn. 

After a while you won't even need a tracker or a spreadsheet to be able to identify whether it's a good or bad deal just from scrolling through the Zillow/Realtor stats.More importantly, find and get to know an agent in the area you want to invest, and make it clear to them that you plan to purchase multiple houses and want to develop a long-term trusting relationship with them.

Find someone that is doing what you want to do and reach out to them. build relationships.

I know the bigger ones likely have quite a few relationships with bigger guys then me they feed deals to first so maybe call the younger guy on staff? 

The timing of our rekindled relationship was both perfect, and traumatic.

If it's a private lender, depending on how close of a relationship you have, 6-12% is typically the return people are looking for.

I see this as a minimum of $50,000 worth of commissions and more likely closer to $75,000 worth of commissions that I could have by getting licensed.The costs associated with getting a real estate salesperson license in my state is incredibly low in relationship to this ONE SINGLE life event of which there will surely be more in the future.I also see a major pitfall with using a real estate agent on the buy side because then I am subject to their availability for when something hits the market rather than my own availability of pouncing on something quick.I've researched out a few real estate brokerages that have a monthly fee to hang your license there and a flat fee per transaction. 

Ps… for reference, this is my wife’s brother, we have a great relationship and have been married to his sister for 20 years.

Hey Team,I'm new to the BP family and look forward to long standing relationship with the everyone.
