I think it would be a win-win situation if we have access to buyers, sellers, funding sources and expert negotiators who can deal with the sellers and the banks in shorting a commercial deal. Commercial short sales is where the biggest opportunity is and I would like to see a team set up to handle such deals. Thanks, Reginald Great Idea!

This is true in other businesses. I am finding in REI it can be like a big secret until you put out big bucks. I find it is very time consuming to find people to work with and what's with the not returning calls and email?? I'm a bit frustrated but determined to make it work.

I've just started my wholesaling business here in New York and see and call all theses "we buy houses for cash" however i need to work with real investors that know what they want. I've decided to call investors and ask them what they are really looking for and not what i have to flip. I know that there are investors out there that buy and sell every day that have CASH ON HAND however i think that this information would help a lot of us small guys and girls out if we had a list of REAL INVESTORS CASH IN HAND to work with. Thank you Leon Hi Brad,

Sounds like it might take some programming to provide a database and search tool beyond the forum that would allow us to find and vette potential deal partners online. For instance, right now, I have both my experience and resources in having available the knowledge to manage a deal effectively, and both short sale negotiation teams, the paperwork and several different funding sources for transactional funding and am willing to share that for partners who will do some bird dogging in their areas for properties and working with Realtors to help find deals. That way I can work virtually on deals and still have a reliable partner on the ground who maybe doesn't have all the contacts or experience to do it alone, but can do some of the leg work and maybe provide the credit record to get things done. Sounds like a great idea. Thanks for getting this started! Liz Nichols PS-- If you are interested in partnering again, my friend, I am about to do more luxury end short sale deals in Lee and Palm Beach Counties in Fl and possibly in the Charleston area. I'll be using DC's team quite possibly for these high end deals. Hi Brad and Team–

So I learned a great deal of finding buyers and sellers. I did not start for two reasons fear and no cash. I have an agent friend who will give me all the leads in jersey city, new jersey. I can partner with you to do deals in my area. Get me started. Ronald Ramroop Hi Brad,

I agree with some of the comments above especially working with some on a split in order to get up and running and creating synergy. I have worked hard with little results in my market and would love to be able to expand to others since markets are always changing. The interaction is where it is at in my opinion.

It's a common misconception and totally unsustainable idea that MOST online RE marketers do not think long term and try to milk the new people right out of the gate- too much. If they really want to do deals like they say they do , they could create a network that would contractually tie someone till the contract was fullfiled- and have proper do diligence and NDNC agreements signed. And also, it would be wise of the new RE investor to find people to work with that are free from criminal intent of not honoring others (because they don't honor themselves). I will be honest Brad (Wozny).....I hope for the best while going around all the rest that want to lock me into their marketing funnel and milk me. This stuff is not that hard. Is not that easy either.....The problem is people by nature(or programing) want to follow. But until that is fully played out in someone and they take charge and begin to lead themselves, there will be those that will continue to milk and treat THAT as the business- which it is. We all want to be compensated for what we do and contribute. The excuse or comment I get from marketers that it's required to have enough 'skin in the game'.....maybe there is a whole market that doesn't want to play THAT game. They would like to lead themselves and interact and network with other RE investors without getting milked by the marketers. This market will change fast....will you be on the right side of that change?

Someone who does not charge you 100- 1500$ per month to train you or partner with you and do your deals, and you don't know if they will really help you till you have paid them for a few months. If someone could work with a person and have a 50/50 split I think it would be a win win. The new person could learn and the seasoned person could do more deals without having to be there doing it all and watching everything. If the seasoned person is afraid of the new person leaving and going on their own have an agreement to do X number of deals together. If I found someone that I worked well with I would probably continue working with them for along time especially if you did what you say find what you are good at and do that unless you are both good at the same thing then it might not work so well. Something along those lines. Thank you for asking! Brad,
