When I work with commercial clients on larger commercial deals I analyze the time invested versus the odds of finding what it is they are looking for to transact a deal.

At this point, Plan A is to e-blast 2,500 Realtors 5-7 times each to see if they notice the email and maybe have a client, and bring flyers by some offices and try to talk to agents.

I just had a realtor call on behalf of her client to whom I sent a letter.

Practice writing up offers so you feel comfortable going over it with clients.

I'd start with your target property and then recognize what your ideal tenant is looking for in a rental.

The deal structure is just as important as the price because you get more into the income approach versus the sales comparison approach with SFR.How hands on you want to be, what returns you can find locally in your market, and you long term goals are key.I have some clients that want more yield and are willing to deal with headaches to get it.

However; that should have been able to have been resolved without surveying, through the local planning department.Your agent needs to talk to the other agent and inform them that you expect their clients to close, and if they don't they are in danger of being sued for non performance.Situations like this is where Brokers/agents earn their commission, let yours know you expect them to do it.

And that's what all our clients do.There are a lot of good markets that will generate cash-flow for you -- even with a minimum down-payment of 20%.

In the case of an office building with an adjacent parking lot parcel, if the lot taxes are unpaid and the office building owner also owns the parking lot - then they need to have that lot for the office tenants and their clients/patients etc.

With that in mind, I have a few questions: 1) What is the general sentiment from RE brokers regarding salesperson licensees that want to be sponsored only to gain MLS access to invest for themselves (not for outside clients)?
