Investor-Friendly Agent in RI and MA.

[Ben Frink]

Hows it going BP nation? First i wanna say THANK YOU to all BP workers especially Josh and Brandon.Ive listened to every single podcast out and theyre super informative even if its subject isnt your niche. Ive met a couple awesome investors through here when i was first starting and realized shortly how possible investing in real estate is even though i work 40-50 hours a week. So earlier this year while trying to come across an investor friendly agent and one that might let me use their MLS , i had a knock knock moment where i realized i like my job i have now but its really a dead end job and even though im compensated fairly I just need to start working on a career. I really started with initially wanting a buy and hold portfolio that would supplement my annual income and I still want that but I dont see that as possible for at least 5 years. SOOO I decided why not become an agent and realllyyy get to know more than just the investing side. Once i started my prelicense class I noticed how completley different both worlds are. Investors and agents have different outlooks on situations. So long story long I decided to hold my license in a brokerage that specializes in property management that way ill have some decent experience before purchasing my first buy and hold.Im working with retail buyers and doing tenant screening and placement which i would suggest to anyone to start out doing. You get to see what sells/rents in your market and licenses arent really expensive to obtain and hold. Ive taken MLS classes to learn better ways on running my comps. I also have gotten names and numbers of local hard money lenders in my area and while doing that i also found a private investor. Im lookin to do a flip or two a year but in my market the deals get scooped up within hours sometimes and im just not ready to act as fast as i need. I also have talked to a couple GC's that ive seen do quality flips in a fairly timely manner. I would like to just find one or two more so i can get at least three bids before choosing. blah blah blah i could type for hours especially while listening to repeat podcasts but ive got work to do. So if any investors or want to be investors need a lil push or some positive reinforcement dont hesitate to shoot me a message. Once again THANK YOU BP!!!!!
