@Victoria Winters  I have considered getting my license I'm just not sure yet if thats a path I want to take. I do think maybe learning it all even if I don't take the exam would be beneficial.

@Richard C.  I agree, this isn't something that has to do with just RE agents this can apply to people in all fields.

@Jim Wilson  & @Lynn McGeein  I didn't think about that in regards to Homepath but no agreements signed.

Not sure whether this is a good move, bad move or whether it really matters but just to give everyone a little update I took it upon myself to go view the property with no agent this evening. I'm a real go getter type personality, I don't have the patience to wait on someone else.

Sorry I can't tag names while using my phone.

Brandon and Michael thanks for the responses. Hopefully in the near future I will find agents like yourselves who actually keep in contact with their clients. I don't have any ties to them so if I don't hear back soon I will be looking else where.

Patrick, hopefully it doesn't take 40 but yes I have a feeling I'll have to go through some more before I find that one I trust and want to help with my investing.

I am in the process of looking for my second investment property and so far my experience with RE agents has been a bit frustrating. My first property I purchased was using a family friend agent and I'm not sure if the comfort level was a factor but I felt as if I did almost all the work and majority of the questions I asked I couldn't get straightforward answers. Now searching for my next property I've tried contacting two different listing agents in regards to Homepath properties, no answers or call backs.

The current property I am very interested in (not Homepath) he did answer my phone call and email me the paperwork I requested and he seemed very adamant about letting him know as soon as I'd like to see it in person. I responded within the hour with a few more questions and stating I would like to visit the property in person. Almost 24 hours later still no response to my email or text (both of which were his preferred forms of contact). I would say there is a slim to none chance he hasn't looked at his phone for 24 hours to see my text and give even a simple response that he'd get back to me.

With your past experience with agents, whether it be yours or the sellers, is this pretty typical and am I just being impatient and expecting too much?

@Darrin Carey  Thanks for the advice. I plan on trying to meet as many people as possible this meeting. I'll be sure to ping you once the meeting gets closer to see if you'll be coming.

@Coleman Nelson Thanks for the response. Hopefully I'll see you at a meeting as well.

After reading and hearing good things about the local Cincinnati REIA I have decided to go to their next meeting after the holidays on January 15th. This will be my first REIA meeting I've ever attended and I can't wait to start meeting some other local investors in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. Hopefully some of you local BPer's will be there as well! Any recommendations to better prepare myself and make a great first impression?

Sounds like a great start Kyle. Always love hearing new investors successful deals especially in my local area. Just shows that there are plenty of deals out there to go around. I'm right across the river in Florence and have also just recently made the plunge and got my first rental property this past July. Looking to get my second at the beginning of the year, seems to be some good opportunities over there in Cincinnati.
