I think that's why they struggle on the equity side and have better success on the debt side.Not to mention that most established investment sponsors have a fairly robust base of investors, and if they are doing their job well, a steady stream of new investors coming in from word of mouth and referrals. 

This could become problematic if people jump to the last post without reading through the other posts and end up posting their version of the same thing that was already posted many times before.The most prominent feature of this version is the right hand column which promotes the BP Blog, the books, and the next webinar.

Wondering if it works be ok to get a real estate license and get referral fees.

At the same time he is clearly promoting his own material throughout while criticizing others for doing the same.

I have a question for those who promote purchasing their own materials.

I get most of my leads from direct mailing and referrals from previous clients.

@Tom Jimenez@Ramon Fyffe and Account Closed are referring to taking a participant loan from your 401k so that you can purchase real estate as opposed to actually investing your 401k into real estate.Lots of folks here on BP - service providers wanting to sell plans with the lure of "easy cash" and people who are simply investors - promote the participant 401k loan as a great kick-start for investing in real estate.  

Continue with your self promotion and hit social media with that 3% to ANYONE who brings a buyer.

I understand promoting myself and relationships are a big key....I'm just wondering how much of that I need to have in place before I begin.

If you are dead set on finding someone local to you, contact your state CPA board and ask for a referral.
