Real Estate Agent working towards rentals

Bryan Goswick
Posted

Hey Biggerpockets guys and gals! I've been watching some of the podcasts videos on YouTube for a little bit now ,and am interested in taking the leap towards getting my first rental, but feel like I still could use some extra guidance in order to actually pull the trigger. All comments/criticism are greatly appreciated! I'd love to network with others for those that want to grab coffee or something to discuss more. 

Thanks,

So I would say if you are looking at off market deals and are going direct to the seller (not a wholesaler) to make sure that if you end up representing yourself during said transaction that you disclose to them all of their options. The last thing you want is an issue with the city, county and/or state because you didn't tell them that if they list with you instead of selling directly to you that they could potentially get a better deal. 

Besides that I think that depending on how long you have been in the business and how many deals you have done your best start could be to reach out to your past clients. One of my first deals was a past client that fell on hard times and was moving out of state and just wanted to get things over with as fast as possible so they could move on and start fresh.
