true compilers and assett managers dont even want to talk to any investors that dont have a proven track record. the only way the newbies and little guys are going to get in is through someone else and hope the chain isnt 12 people long. alot of the hedge funds are buying large portfolios then breaking them up and fliping them to the open market and this is a way to establish a track record. i have no problem bringing a true investor that can show proof of funds and knows what they want directly to a compiler to place some orders. the compilers want a minimum of $100,000,000 order and charge from .45% to .58% on average.

You can much more easily keep track of changes in the market, new laws that are coming and other things that are hard to track as a 1 man band.Be less concerned about going to a new meeting.

Having CASH or CASH EQUIVALENT (hard money, line of credit, commercial loan) investors lined up to buy your deals is essential in this process if you are not planning on actually purchasing the properties.I would also recommend that you put on the top of your priority list to develop the capability to close on the properties if you need to.
