Mainly investors that have just completed their first out-of-state deal.

I have been on the MLS researching different properties that can become my first deal but I have not made any offers.

So does anyone have any advice on how to deal with them without having to spend thousands on legal fees?

I just keep analyzing deals and making solid offers based on the numbers.

It all seems a little overwhelming and outside my skillset.I don’t want to give up just yet and think maybe I just need a boost of confidence and a push to make my first deal or acquisition happen.

I am trying to support them by finding investors to assist in buying lots and financing  their construction.I am familiar with the actual development side, but not so much with the investing and deal making (that's why I'm here to learn more), when I connect a builder with an investor, what would be a fair price to charge so I am compensated for my effort.

Note that you may have more tenant-to-tenant issues to deal with though.As with any real estate investment, you pays your money, you takes your chances :)

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I still think I got a really good deal on the work.
