Hello BP Members and Happy New Year!!! I'm excited to share that I just purchased my first SFH in MO!!!! I was very nervous but finally decided to pull the trigger. I was in the paralysis mode for about 8 months. Anyhow, it feels good to have finally done it. Now I'm determined to keep the snowball rolling. I wanted to give you all a big thanks for being here and helping us all with many questions/concerns.

My next goal is to purchase a 2-4 units in OH or IN :)  . Are there any RE friendly agents here wiling to help me get started?? Can anyone recommend any agents/companies you have worked with?

Thank you all and let this year be better than last.

Congrats!!!! I just purchased my first property on December 8. It is truly a learning experience. I am on my 2nd set of contractors. The hardest part of my rehab is dealing with the contractors. The police have been out twice due to altercations between contractor and subs....smh. 

I am also an agent the best way to locate and create a Great relationship is to introduce yourself at a REI to an investor-friendly agent. Negotiate the cost of commission down if you agree to work exclusively with that agent for 6 months. Good Luck
