Option B: If you have absolutely no money to pay for marketingThe easiest way to get a deal with no money is to simply build your buyers list using the strategy I just mentioned above, and then reach out to other wholesalers in your market and ask them if they need any help moving some of their inventory. 90% of wholesalers who are focused on acquisitions (getting the deal) drop the ball when it comes to dispositions (selling the deal).

But having the contractor sign this form wouldn't be the dispositive issue for whether he or she is an independent contractor. 

Also learn the these steps so you can start calling faster to get started:1. learn the acquisition and disposition funnel.

Trying to do it outside the supervision of your brokerage would be illegal.You must disclose you are a licensee and what brokerage you are with in all real estate related activities.The disposition of the commission offered will be handled pursuant to your independent contractor agreement with your broker.

So I looked at as much data as I could find; SEC filings, county records, demographics, loan data, commercial lender disposition, etc.In the end, I find that I disagree with my initial thinking, which if I read you correctly was consistent with your sentiment.I do, though, believe in facts (referring to "They can throw out all of the "facts" they want".)

We generally do a very basic appliance check; if there are any issues, we'll know it before sending out the deposit disposition. 

Someone at a Michigan secretary of state office should be able to provide some info regarding disposition.

I am looking for JV partner/boots-on-ground to help me with the disposition side.

Some will say to start by finding properties, but I think having a good buyers lists helps not only with the disposition step, but it builds a lot of confidence in knowing that you're making progress. 

In the passive syndication you received the 8% pref plus a share of the profits at disposition and I assume the full cycle of the deal was 3-7 years.
