Thanks for jumping in and getting involved.

Manny also makes a great point about wholesaling with a realtor involved.

I guess you could extend this model to the leasing/tenant mgmt side as well, but that gets more involved with needing agent's license, knowing housing law ins/outs, etc.

There is a legitimate business plan behind this but it would be prudent to seek the advice of an attorney and to investigate any cases that arose around the other organizations that have previously implemented such a program.

(I've worked in online web site development and programming for 20 yrs, but it's getting a little old and doesn't pay as well as it used to.)

You are definitely doing the right thing by getting involved with other agents and investors "on the ground" so to speak.

I guess I am letting my emotions get involved because that is exactly how I feel.

The closest thing I have ever gotten to subscribing to a real estate program is my membership at the Chicago Public Library.

Aside from that, you will not want to get involved in any kind of negative reporting as it could end up hurting you instead.

I build my programs and forecasts from watching and analyzing the large financial players, as they truly set the pace that then trickles thru, and that trickle thru gives time to position.
