Those who already have a very well-established business, do you have a department dedicated to marketing?

My question is not about protection at this time (I'm sure later down the line I will establish an LLC for increased liability protection as I expand my RE business but I will get an umbrella policy starting out).

A lot of established agents will refer clients to you for a commission split, especially investors who are typically shopping for low-price property.

What is the best way to establish a rate to charge security deposit for repairs such as drywall patching and repainting if I do the work myself.

Once you establish the market rent start digging into the expenses.Is there alot of vacancy?

But I want to establish relationships with buyers and then find the properties for them based on their criteria.

I'd also say until you are well established in an area and have a great team to work with you should not be buying anything without seeing it personally.  

And when you are starting off, you should try to establish trust and relationship with your buyers first.

I am now seeking a way to establish a credit facility (200K to 1M) to help me scale up faster.

Then look at your investment requirements and you can establish an offer.
