Taking A Poll On Hispanic Market Interest

Hello everyone. In my research for becoming a more proficient birddog I have uncovered what I believe to be a treasure. I have been calling REI in my area in order to get info on what type of properties they are interested in. In a conversation one of the investors told me he does not deal with certain areas because they usually don't speak much english and he has a hard time understanding them and having prospective sellers and buyers understanding him. That means that not only him, but quite a few other investors probably do the same thing!

Being bilingual I know the advantage that the comfort level that other hispanics achieve by being able to communicate so well with me is very big. I have even worked for a few investors in the are as a translator or interpreter (even the deal was already in place) and gotten some extra cash like that. It has occured to me that maybe someone out there in the investing world may need some simple documents translated into spanish in case they have sellers or buyers that would be more comfortable if they could read the documents they are signing in their native tongue.

Would anyone here find that useful?

I of course have been paying a lot of attention in the deals that I have been present in while I was interpreting. I have to understand the transaction before I can explain it to someone else so as a biproduct (sp?) I have gotten a lot of help and knowledge from the investors I have been working with.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Veronica

    sorry guys. I think I posted on the wrong forum and I am having trouble erasing it. I guess the topic relates in both areas anyways. Feel tree to answer in either...
