When you buy and hold property do are your rehab numbers come closer to the rental or retail side of things?

My wife's online retail store has taken off, bringing in roughly 70k a year.

Just be prepared to buy something else (on the retail market!)

s suggestion that you actively work the agent side at the same time, which will:* earn transactional income* get you tuned into even better to what buyers want, to aid your flipping* allow you to confidently and effectively list your own flips if you want (many investor/agents don't list their own flips because they don't do retail agent work and aren't good at marketing to retail buyers)* get your name out there better, and get you plugged into the network of real estate agents in your area.You should be able to find a broker that charges x$ per transaction, rather than a %.

Make sure you tell him to give you "retail" pricing, not what you're going to pay him.

If you plan to represent retail buyers/sellers, you'll probably want to join a larger brokerage that has good training programs -- but you'll pay for those resources in terms of monthly fees and commissions splits.

And are you selling to retail buyers or other investors?

I ran a market search in one of my industry guides and came back with a few possible leads:JB Lloyd in Plano, TX.Seattle SpecialtyNoforcedplace.comLeeandmason.comArspecialists.comSome of these are wholesalers who will not work with you directly but they can let you know if what you are asking for is possible and direct you to an appointed retail agent in your area.

Then some of my own retail flips and wholesale deals and I have also done bird dogging (by the way liked your post on difference between bird dogs and wholesalers) Most recently I have been working with homes for investors that buy and hold.

I think they retailed for $1500 to the every day Joe.
