    REI book Advice?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hi All, Dont know if this is the correct forum to post this in so if it's not, my apologies. A few years ago I interviewed some of the top investors and developers in my area. Mind you, these weren't beginners or amateur investors / developers. These were CEO's of large companies (some of them...

    How to Double Commission on a listing

    REAL ESTATE 
    Sometimes people run a blind ad for the property seeking "principals only". This basically deters other licensed agents from calling in and allows them to pick up buyers. Usually finding buyers without rep involves all other means of advertising without going to multiple listing service.

    REAL ESTATE 
    One idea for you is the bird dog idea. I met a developer once who told people, find me a deal (he gave criteria) and I'll do the development and finance but I'll give 33% to you of the profits for bringing me the deal.

    REAL ESTATE 
    Apartments IS a pure #'s game, more so than SFH and obviously less emotional. However, you hit it perfectly. We are essentially targeting two separate markets. One is the consumer / retail buyer, most of the time which is a homeowner (not so much investor). So there is much more emotion as...

    Thanks for the reply Andiv. To answer your questions: 1. Most started off small (i.e. condo's, houses, etc.) granted they had to start off in C or D areas as prices tended to be much lower. Several of them actually got into different day jobs. For example, one sold wine (stocking in stores)...

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm a real estate broker in Hawaii who focuses on commercial but mainly apartments (multifamily) deals. Most of the guys I deal with are high net worth individuals but none of them started out that way. Most (if not all) started out small time. But one pattern I see with all of them is that...
