@Ty West I loved your comment! It means the world to me that my simple post encourages you like that. Do NOT give up!! I am in Brooklyn and hosting a get together at our apt in April if you’d like to come. I know you’re a bit father out but doesn’t hurt to ask. Send me a message :) 

@TyaKym Echols Congratulations I'm jumping into your first property!! I'm sure it's super nerve wracking not having a tenant yet. I know I'm late on replying and hope you found someone by now. If not, I would consider lowering the price. That's usually what will do it. I am not sure if you're using a PM to list it but I'd ask them for feedback right away to see what's taking so long. If they aren't responsive then find someone else to list it for you and do your own research to see if other rentals in the area have something yours doesn't or maybe yours is priced too high. And if you're listing it yourself then I'd hire someone right away so that it can go on the MLS. Of course I'm speaking without knowing anything about your property. Feel free to PM me and I'll help as best I can.

@Brennet Vargas Haha yes, my parents are from Cuba. I’m from Miami. 

@Stephanie Duggan @James R aduna Thank you both! Definitely would like to connect with you as well. Please send me a message. I’m working on replying to them all! 

@Kirstin Lawrence Of course! Please send me a message. I promise I’ll get to it, it’s just taking me a bit of time. 

@Daniel Hernandez Great question! The correct way to do it would be to get your license. You can either hang it with a broker and pay MLS fees or you can do what I did and hang it as a referral agent. I found an online broker that allows that and it was $70 a year versus $1000+ for doing it with a traditional broker and getting access to MLS etc. As a referral agent I make 25% of the buyer's agent's commission versus if you do the standard brokerage then you make the full commission after splitting with your broker. Eventually I'll hang ir traditionally but at the moment since I'm out of state it didn't make sense. But this is the only legal way to help investors unless you're doing wholesaling. I hope this made sense! Feel free to send me a message if you have questions.

@Nola Akee Thank you! The investors were buy and hold in these cases. 

@Carey Fortnam @Sabitha Balaraman

Yes definitely please send me a message. And I apologize if it takes me a bit to reply. I am working on it :) 

@Dev Horn Thanks for your questions. I am a licensed agent and hang my license as a referral agent. The deal was off market but after my buyer put the offer in, the seller listed it on the MLS. The day after they listed it our offer was accepted. So the agent I work with, he made the standard commission from the fees the seller pays and I made a piece of that commission from the referral. Hope that helps!

@Jason Horton Bigger Pockets has a section where you can start your own member blog. It’s under the Education tab. I started mine there and I promoted the article by sending it to friends and posting it on my LinkedIn. I am sure that helped them see it was already getting some traction plus it was a success story like this so they featured it. They featured this one too! Very exciting. I’m sure if you start one you can do the same!
