James,

Realtors are your best source of business but they want to get paid just like everyone else, they deal with owners everyday that don't want to pay commissions, don't want to short sale and want a better investment.

Also Realtors deal with buyers who don't currently qualify for traditional financing and they are walking away from these potential opportunities.

Our company LeaseOwn Homes charge a minimum 5k or 3% of the purchase price for the option fee upfront and we pay realtors up to 50% of that depending if they bring the buyer or seller or both.

Also we charge 2% per year as the balance of our option fee paid at time of purchase of the property and give the realtor 25% or 50% see above.

This motivates realtors to work with you and by taking care of realtors they will give you warm leads and will help you close them.

Again a win-win.

If you are making a profit and you have a good tenant don't raise the rent as this could cost you a lot as if they move out and you only have a one month vacancy how long will it take to get that lost months rent back.

Keep the renter happy and your company stays successful and profitable.

in real estate it is more about asking the right questions to find out a sellers motivation for selling, a great book to start is "The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner".

Do your homework first as fix and flip is risky, hard work and costly. It can be profitable but can put you out of the game fast.

Realtors are your best source for finding owners willing to do lease options,  in a year how many owners do realtos speak to who dont want to pay a commission, dont want to do a shortsale who are underwater or want a better investment?

Our company LeaseOwn Homes works with realtors regularly.

it depends on the type of investing you are doing and to avoid future liability you should make sure it is a win-win for all parties.

Remember if everyone wins everyone is happy and everyone will want to do it again.

i would reccommend contacting the department of real estate and get a referral, you must be careful to follow all laws as some types of investing require you to be licensed.

if you are using a lease from an association of realtors you must be a realtor who is signed up with the board, i believe it is a great contract as it will have all the most up to date protection for all parties and be the most up to date with the laws in your state.
