Due Diligence on Purchasing Single Fam Res

[April Moore]

I am fairly new to investing in single family res properties. I'm challenged in conducting due dilligence. Also in having a real estate agent that will run comps and let me know if it looks like a good deal or not. I have limited access in Texas but someone gave me a little more without being able to run actual comps. I can see what is selling AND what was sold. It's not a full comp analysis but it's something. In the mean time I can't get fast turn around with info from a real estate agent while dealing with wholesalers. With them, many you times properties go in a few hours. How do they know the deal is good in such a short time? There's something out there that I don't know. I'm tempted to get a real estate license to give me more access to things. Buuut not sure
