So, about a deal a month.For organic, you can triple that number (again, assuming someone's putting in the effort and so on).

If your selling efforts are directed solely outside the United States, you are subject to the rules of the securities regulators in the jurisdiction where the investors reside (i.e., China), but a US issuer can sell securities to a foreign national investor under Regulation S almost easier than under Regulation D (i.e., Rule 506).

While these may be extremely uncomfortable to ask, they will be taken well if you are truly genuine in trying to help her.

I don't want to waste my time, or realtor/banks time, but need to be FAIR - to get considered.Once I do my analysis, I want to have a bidding range - HIGH/LOW (including at least ONE counter-offer), then start my efforts to secure funding - based on my parameters.....with BEST/WORST case for $$$$ amount.

When I closed on the property, I went up there and was genuinely nice to the tenants (had been there 6 years, but were on a month-to-month lease).

@Dakota Mivshek  go interview with agencies and let them know you want to start on a top producer team.. you will also see advertisements from top producers looking for listing agents and showing agents.. its a great incubator.its how many agents make the million a year they are a company within a company... plus the team volume goes to the top producer so when you see a top producer say he or she has done 100 million for the year.. that's the effort of the entire team.. they might have brought in 3 mil gross but distributed that to 5 to 7 agents working under them at usually a 50/50 split or so.. so the top producer makes their million a year.. and the other agents who are apprenticing get 40 to 100k a year pretty cool deal and now you have a top producer as your mentor... and he/she is totally interested in how well you do... it goes to their bottom line.. its the new way.. and one that Keller kind of pioneered but all good size brokerages will have teams in them.My wife who is solo did 14 million last year... on her own. its a great business once you put the time in she gets all business by referral.. did not spend one dime on marketing.. ask me how many wholesalers can make 400k plus a year and spend not one dime on marketing...

Im finally in a financial position to do my first deal(not counting my inadvertent successful house hack flip I currently live in), but im struggling to focus my efforts.

It takes just as much effort for them to lend out 20k or 200k.

Or, in order to avoid all of this, plus the potential for tension with the tenant, you might consider a last-ditch effort to work out an agreed move-out date with him. 

Charging more in fees creates less alignment with investors, but you do need to make sure that the deal's cash flow is structured to compensate you for your effort and value delivered in service along the way.
