By you knowing, and working for this person, ought to go a long way to establishing your network.The fact he'll match your salary, and you can earn commissions, makes this almost a no brainer.

Establish rapport.

After a rapport has been established or I am seeking their interaction, I will give them the address that goes to my blackberry so that I'm not sorting through junk.

I'm looking to establish and grow my real estate business here in Colorado and then look to expand into the Huntsville area (fix and flip for short term goals & buy & hold for long-term).

The big difference is you not only need to do this on the property, but the borrower as well.I would think it would be much less hassle than flipping or renting once you get established, but it may be pretty difficult to get to that point.

That's simply called speculation (also known as gambling)!

If you already have one property there, it's doing good, and you have a team established, why not continue a good thing?

Re-establishing Capitalism.

You have to evict once they are established.

But, if you buy for $65K and put $10K into it, especially if the seller did nothing, its going to tough to justify the bump from $30K to $132K.The HML will establish the value on their own.
