I am planning financial structure currently while working through design and budgeting and want to bounce some things off professionals not in my local market.Thanks in advance.

I understand the jist of wholesaling and have the tools to speak with sellers over the phone.

It's more professional and less of a "mom n pop" business.

You can PM me your phone number and we can jump on a brief conf call to review what you have found. 

I introduce myself with hi my name is Erica with thompson properties I was returning your phone call (if they called me).

What about attending sales meetings, going to company training events, phone duty, etc.There is a slight chance that your local MLS might allow you to join as an individual once you renew your license but that is rare from what I’ve heard and varies state to state.

One quote I’ve found to be invaluable is “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.”

Unlike auto, surplus, or junk auctions a real estate auctioneer will usually let you stop the show and take a time out to step outside and "make a phone call" or whatever.

@Libby Baugher I get all my properties professionally inspected after we strike a deal.  95% of the time it is a "waste of money," but 5% of the time they catch things I missed. 

It helps if you've already done business with them.A more common way to get this done would be to find two partners and the three of you each put in $125k in equity.Also, you don't mention if the property needs rehab but one thing to keep in mind, my experience is that your capital required to complete a large deal is not equal to the amount of the down payment.Even if the property is in pristine condition, you need more money for third-party reports, professional fees and working capital.
