@J. Lee I use Land of Lincoln Credit Union, I dont think there is a branch super close to you. But they lend within 100 miles of their branches.

I will PM you

Looking as well, 
It would also help to say where you are looking to buy do business. That get's peoples key words going off.
Like I am in Decatur

@John Davidson

Great 

What experience do you have in real estate?
What are your long term goals?

Hi @Kyle Kelley

I am Central Illinois investor. Have you checked facebook or meetup for a Landlord association in the cities near you?
Carbondale or Mt. Vernon?

If not, I do recommend starting your own meetup. I did it in Seoul with @Daniel Ryu. Probably one of the best things I ever did. 

What are your goals with real estate?

have a great day, feel free to PM me if you have any questions

@Michael Beeman

Great story, glad things are going well for you.

Welcome to BP

Always great to see another Illinois member active on the site.

@Lauren Grigus

Congratulations on getting 2 properties off market.

That is great

Sorry I don't have much insight, but it seems that they are off-market. So the brokerage isn't entitled. TECHNICALLY.

I feel it should depend on how you found the deals. 

Did the person call your office or walk into the office to talk?
Did you find the person alone, like a FSBO sign or a craigslist ad?

Would the brokerage lose potential income because of this deal?

Try to see it from their point of view when you are talking to them.

@Ryan Kirk

Start up a meetup and a facebook page
Talk to your friends and colleagues 

Spread the word
