A commercial property scout is a person who generates qualified real estate leads for investors and is paid VERY handsomely for these activities. My recommendation is finding investors that will share in the profits so there is very little risk to the scout. This can take more time to get paid, but lead to great paydays! In today's commercial real estate market, savvy investors are looking and buying. Property scouting is a great way to get a "piece of the pie".
If you like working from your home, on your computer then this opportunity might be for you. I learned how to look for these deals by joining NACREPS which stands for National Association of Commercial Real Estate Property Scouts. nacreps.org
The great thing about being a part of NACREPS is that they have investors waiting to buy. You just bring them the deals. They train you to know what the investors are looking for in today's real estate market. You start scouting in your area where you live or across the United States using the internet. Like right now, investors are looking for apartment buildings, self storage sites and office/retail properties. You may know of some right now in your back yard. They love the ones that have problems or the owners have problems and are motivated to sell. Properties that they can enhance, add value and generate income.
I think this is a great opportunity but you check it out for yourself.

Hi Kim,
I too, am a professional commercial real estate scout. I have attended live commercial property boot camps and walked away with, 'what do I do now?' The National Association of Commercial Real Estate Property Scouts give you what do I do now. They give you the manual and on line help as well as conference calls about various aspects of commercial property and how to ask the right questions.
Thanks for spreading the word.
