I am currently flipping homes and am current searching for my next project at the court house steps.My brokerage is always looking for motivated agents.  

If you don't want to manage any aspect of investing in real estate directly you will incur some sort of management fees.

If you allow a strip club in with a church that rents a unit that might not go well either:) What sort of commercial property is this?

I'm assuming some sort of approval via an engineer?

My biggest question is if there should be some sort of fee for essentially doing the foot work, finding the property and going through all the steps given the down payment is being paid back.

Note also that the addresses NCOA rejects or provides COA for can be great opportunities.Separately from NCOA is barcoding and sorting if you want to take advantage of bulk delivery rates.

They are a wealth of information and keep you motivated while learning!

It will sort of delay the investment process but secure you your first property in the mean time. 

Hi, I am trying to build a list of motivated buyers to contact to whenever I have a property that could interest them. 

You may have to expand your "Sort" to use comparable neighboring towns, or expand out from 3 to 6 to even 12 months, to get a rough idea.
