John,

I belong to a (general) mastermind group and get a great deal out of it.  It would be great to be a part of one that is specific to RE investing.

@Manolo D.I know, and it's a great one.  The Rehab Investing Bible references (and gets very specific about contents) an independent contractor  agreement, but doesn't actually give the contract (rolls eyes).

I was able to find this from some of their older materials (sourced off of eBay).  

The agreement in J Scotts book will certainly work as well.  I think the important part is the SOW up-front.

My recommendation is to get both of @J Scotts books (The Book on Flipping Houses: How to Buy, Rehab, and Resell Residential Properties and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs: The Investor's Guide to Defining Your Renovation Plan, Building Your Budget, and Knowing Exactly How Much It All Costs).
Then, after you read and understand both of these books on a fundamental level, get, read, understand, re-read, absorb, re-read, use osmosis with, re-read and re-read The Real Estate Rehab Investing Bible: A Proven-Profit System for Finding, Funding, Fixing, and Flipping Houses...Without Lifting a Paintbrush by Paul Esajian (of Fortune Builders fame.  Lots of threads about Fortune Builders here; mostly decrying them as a scam.  However, that book contains very valuable info).

Read them and learn them.  Know them inside and out.


Through these books, you can create (and have the knowledge, not just the forms) a system.  The only thing you won't get through all of this is the Independent Contractor Agreement.  When the times comes, I can send you that.

Keep rockin'.

Did you sign a contract with that original agent?  If no, shame on them and do what you wish.  If yes, you have an obligation.

Any update on this?  I'm following this intently.  I HATE people like this.

Very good.  Call me to discuss logistics.

I have just completed the classes (and taken and passed the tests) to become a broker in Indiana.

I no longer need the resources that I was using (list below).  I am offering to give these (read: free) to the first person that responds they will get them AND comes and retrieves them (I live at exit 19 on I-65 in Indiana (Henryville).  

My phone number and email are in my signature.  Feel free to send me a text or shoot me an email.

Since BP doesn't let us delete threads, I will update this thread when the resources are gone.

I have:

2 copies of Modern Real Estate Practice (19th Edition).

Modern Real Estate Practice (19th Edition) Flashcard Review Flashcards (I've also transcribed these into electronic form for anybody to use (go to cram.com.  Do a search for my email address (again in my signature line).  Uncheck Title, Content and Subject.  You will be left with the cards I made)).

Mastering Real Estate Principles by Gerald Cortesi (5th edition) - good supplement for your studies.

and

The Study Guide for Modern Real Estate Practice (19th Edition) with some notes, scribbles and highlighting.

First come.  First serve.  This will be a coup for the right person.

No.  It's not worth it at all.
