“It is always, let me say that again, IT IS ALWAYS easier to find a property for a buyer than a buyer for a property.”
BOY! I’m going to have to STRONGLY disagree with that sentiment.
Buyer’s ALMOST NEVER buy the first property they look at. Some Buyer’s take months to find a home that’s just right for them.
However, if I get a listing, and the Seller decides to listen to my expert advice (even though they’re paying me…they don’t always choose to listen) - their property will probably sell in a matter of days w/multiple offers.
In this market…it’s far easier to find a buyer for a property than a property for a buyer (that’s why everybody wants to be a listing agent).
“So you would pay someone the same amount that gave you a phone number and address as someone that gave you that info plus maybe the names of contractors in the area, area rent valuations, comps, background on the property, etc Maybe told you if there was a mortgage or not so you could negotiate seller financing, etc.”
I’m sorry, but again I’m going to STRONGLY disagree with those implications as well!
You say, “The more you will learn and the quicker you can move from Wholesaling/Birddogging to being a true end investor.”
But ya know what Pard?..I don’t want somebody learning doing market analysis, rent schedules, and amatuer appraisals on a property I’m considering investing in.
I do my own homework or hire a pro.
You get what you pay for.
