Yeah you definitely want to know your MAO going into any negotiation with the seller.

I would definitely say that Fishtown is over inflated at the moment. 

Now that we're looking more seriously, I'm definitely planning on attending some RE events Thanks for sharing your info @bruce cassidy. 1.6% sounds amazing! 

It is definitely a hot (and evolving) topic so thanks to @Wayne Brady for creating a thread.

Definitely starting out right - you're about to gain priceless knowledge on the PM, rehab, tenant, regulations, and I'm guessing finance fronts of this crazy game.

I think if you are acting as your own listing broker for your flips and do a few a year the cost would definitely make up for the fees you will have to pay versus what you would save in commissions - at least if you are in the Portland Metro area. 

Will definitely look into the other links.  

World traveler, definitely.

Residential real estate is much easier to me because I have done much more and commercial RE is definitely a “who you know” game.

hey @Shaun Morgan , I don't have too much experience in this field so DEFINITELY take my opinion with a pound of salt, but from my education in entrepreneurship and from what research on the topic I have done, when it comes to private investors it is less about what info you bring to the table on the first visit and more so how you approach the situation.
