Why not just prospect for listings...easier to sell your services since you are selling for top market on the open market. I find that as an agent it's more valuable to bring off market deals directly to sellers with the option to list if the offer is not high enough. Your focus should be finding investors to bring offers to specific property types then source deals directly. You can avoid ethics issues and sleep soundly at night.

Has to be residential which is four or less units.

Thanks for all of the replies.  Qualifying buyers is always an issue, whether its with first time home buyers or investors.  I have noticed that even first time home buyers are pretty well informed because of their easy access to information.  The past week has illuminated the almost endless possibilities/opportunities that bigger pockets can provide.  I'm looking forward to becoming more active on this site.

Thats pretty incredible that you are reaching position 1-3 on google search because of bigger pockets posts.  Awesome!

Hey guys,

I'm a real estate agent and I have been an avid bigger pockets podcast listener.  I haven't been very active on the forums, but recently a few investors found my profile on bigger pockets and contacted me about buying a home within a very short timeline.   As an agent, the name of the game is lead generation, but for the first time in my career, a client just seemed to find me.  It was as if the universe decided to send me business.  Needless to say, it has been one of the best client experiences I have had in recent memory.  This morning, I started thinking about what has made working with these clients so enjoyable as opposed to regular buyer clients.  I think it is knowledge.  

Bigger pockets is such a great resource because it provides investors and aspiring investors with information, insight and much needed help.  

I'm just curious, if any agents or investors have any success stories about linking up with clients, agents or business partners on bigger pockets.

I remember meeting a future client at an open house last year and after we realized we were both bigger pockets members, a business relationship and friendship was formed instantly.  

Thanks bigger pockets!

Please share your experiences, good and bad.

Best Regards,

Dan

Does anyone have any experience in Multi-family development?  I'm looking into doing a multi-family conersion and curious about return % to invetors.  The project would probably include retail space on the first floor and 4-10 condos for sale.  Total project time approx 14-16 months.

Rashad,

I am an agent in DC, I would say finding a good agent might come first.  A good agent will have at least 3 great lenders that can help you.  I know I do!  The lender is very important, could be the difference between closing a deal and having one slip away.  A good agent will also have contractors which might be able to help you plan the rehab.
