Local Networking and Discussion

Yesterday I received an email from the local "competition" about wanting to go out for coffee sometime. He said I was new in the area lol.

Its exciting and I'm also nervous at the same time. This is all so new and uncharted territory. I'm posting cause I wanted some feedback

Has this happened to anyone? Any replies would be great, thanks!

I have created a new group under the REI Clubs for investors in the Western Ohio Area. Please feel free to join the group so we can start networking.

My name is Ron and I am located in Saugus, Massachusetts and I would be happy to trade and exchange ideas and information.

I will be investing in 3 Bedroom homes in and around Saugus, Massachusetts.

The homes will be 50 to 70% FMV.

I already have a Buyer's list but I am looking to add names to it.

My number is 617-803-0171

I am looking for investors to work with in Chattanooga, TN and surrounding area.

Important Question: Why would a Real Estate Agent who is also a Real Estate Investor bring me Great Deals if he had the expertise to perform these deals himself. He can make more money doing his own assignments and flips.

Please help me with this question because I truly cannot see why he would do this.

I am looking to work with Real Estate investors in New Jersey. I am looking to start by finding some properties and gathering the information and collecting a fee for my research. Also, I would like to become part of their rehab team if possible, so that I can get hands on experience of how the process works. Serious investors only please. Good luck to everyone!!

I'm just curious if anyone else is located in Corona, CA.? Would it be possible to network together or partner up, tag team, Investors club or any networking suggestions?

Greeting fellow Graziosians:

Many of you know I am hosting a group in Palmdale, CA (SoCal Real Estate Investors Group)

We are having our official kick off meeting on June 12 at the Antelope Valley County Club. If you would like more in or would like to attend please RSVP at the following link so that I know how many people to expect.

There will be speaks food and beverages as well as lots of other great info. This is not just a networking opportunity its a learning experience. The group is taught using Dean's BARM as a foundation. So come and get ready to learn.

Hello all -- I am new - I plan to find pre-foreclosures, get them under contract, and assign the deals for a fee - I have two questions . . .

1. Is it wise to "shop" the deals among buyers to optimize the fee? Or is it better to develop long-term relationships on a buyer by buyer basis by setting a "pre-agreed upon" fee (based on the equity?) that's reasonable, building a reliable source of buyers?

2. This is a naive question, but I am new to real estate . . . if I use an agent to find deals just to assign them, how does the agent get a commission if I don't close on the peoperty?
