Your state will likely require you to be a broker, which comes with its own insurance requirements.

The best deals are off-market because people who have done the work needed to list their house with a realtor expect a lot more money and you have competition from everyone with access to someone with access to MLS.Think about sending mailers to what we call "motivated sellers" You can work with a list broker to get a target that's good for a competitive market.

I am a practicing real estate broker in Oregon and have “intended” to invest in residential rentals since I got my license 12 years ago, but timing/circumstance hasn’t allowed.

I work with a broker that gives 100% commission.

I have my inspection tomorrow and met with the broker today and he said they were just sent a letter from a lawyer saying the seller going to be sued relating to a separate business he’s involved in.

I was planning to include:I will provide a free valuation of the propertyI am not a broker, so there will be no associated feessign off with, "I look forward to hearing from you!"

Once you’re ready I know a very good Commercial Broker that I highly recommend

I represented myself as a licensed broker.

I used a residential real estate agent when I should have been working with a commercial broker who understands the process better - don't do what I did!

I'll ask some of the commercial brokers in my office for good lenders to talk to and treat a few to lunches or find another networking event where I could meet some savy lenders.
