Post: RE agent advice for a newbie

Hey everyone!,

Newbie investor here on the verge of my first house hack deal in my market of northern New Jersey (Bergen or Hudson county specifically). I've connected with what seems to be a very good, investor friendly, agent who also does investing on his own which I was really looking for as I'm just starting my career. However, recently I've noticed that communication has slightly slowed and I find myself having to reach out more and more which wasn't the case in the beginning. This is especially frustrating as I have already gone through the pre-approval process and am excited to finally start seeing properties. 

My question is, is this what to expect from a successful agent and should I just be a little more patient as he clearly brings value to to the table? Or should I start to look elsewhere? I know there's a lot of agents out there however one with this type of experience and guidance is very valuable to me at this stage in my career. Any advice (or agent referrals) would be appreciated thanks in advance!

Thank you @Justin Windham @Jack Butala really appreciate the kind words and info. Definitely plan on diving into the site and seeing all it has to offer.

Hey @Cody Kale @Kevin Law I'm a newbie as well going through the preapproval process myself with various lenders. I was recently approved for a conventional loan on a duplex with 5% down with Chase through their first time home buyer program. My credit is pretty good and it is my first home so those are factors but the loans are out there may just have to ask around.

Hello all!

My name is Andre and I am a new investor in the New York/NJ area. I am looking to start my real estate investing career like most people here with the house hacking strategy. I've been obsessed with the community here and I've quickly picked up a lot of knowledge through the forums, blogs, podcast, etc and I'm excited to start my journey. Just looking for some support and info regarding the process, in particular I'm searching for a real estate agent knowledgeable of my market that could help guide me in the process. Also looking for some recommendations regarding lenders. Anything helps, thanks!
