I have seen many Realtors spend money banking on a closing and end up in debt.Not saying that someone might pass away and the little old lady agrees to allow you to do a lease option with a promise as an option price, but spending time looking for her is going to be, IMO, in the end, a waste of valuable time where you could be making money.A seller will ask to see your ability to perform under a contract, the bigger the deal, the more hard nose they will be.

It is more focused on rehabbing but I find it valuable as well.My focus is currently on wholesaling while working fulltime so I don't have the time during the day to do everything that I would like.

As Michael Douglas said in "Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps," the most valuable asset a man has is NOT money, it is TIME.

It helped me a great deal and got lots of valuable info from it.

Let's just be clear on one thing.The broker/agent is not the reason a flip is successful or not.The purchaser makes the decision on what they pay for a property.They have a right to an inspection and they pay cash or line up financing.I always love it when I hear an investor is trying to get the broker/agent to take a cut for a mistake the INVESTOR made on purchasing or cost to rehab.A deal is a deal and no matter who you pay if the numbers work then you do it.Someone agreeing to 1% has to be a broker because with a brokerage split they would almost be working for free.My philosophy is make more and work less.Just like an investor my time is valuable in a deal.Broker/agents make sure to look at your ROI to when brokering deals.We are not the RED CROSS a non for profit

We get to know those members better as well as get valuable advice from those who have success!

This don't really seemed very valuable to me.

Even with higher rent you may have over improved it for the area.If you can't save the structure you can have the fire department do a controlled burn on it.Then pay hauler a nominal fee to take away the junk.If there are a bunch of trees with valuable types you can get a tree company to take down for you and they keep the wood to sell and you get done for free or a nominal price.Could the lot be sold off for a quick return to the neighbor who wants a bigger yard??

That will ensure that they are serious and that you will make SOME money each month for spending your valuable time.
