Make sure you have good communication with your agent. At first it sounded like she was refusing to make the offer, but then it sounded as if she was trying to guide you to making an offer that was more likely to get accepted.  

As someone else said, vet them a bit and make sure ahead of time they are comfortable with working towards your goals and explain to them how you plan to get there. Each investor is different and everyone has different priorities, expectations, etc.  Some agents will tell you outright that you are not the type of client they usually work with, and that's ok.  Once you find a good agent who understands you, the outcome can be very favorable to you both!  Chat with a few more and you'll get some clarity.  Good luck :)

I second what @Jeremy Wirths said!  Take a few minutes to research the Southern NH market. Much closer than Ohio :)  

@Declan Schreiber welcome to the NH community and good luck in your wholesaling journey!  Check out the events tab here on BP for upcoming networking meetings that are (finally) starting to start back up in person again, as well as some virtual ones.

@Erick Sembrano Cities along the border of MA such as Salem are great options in terms of location.  These places will command higher rents (more comparable to what you would find in the MA towns that they border), which in turn means higher purchase price points.  You may not see the same returns you'll get if you were to invest further North, but you will have a stable pool of renters who will be needing to commute to the Boston area for work.  As you've probably noticed, inventory is quite low.  Keep an eye on things and get yourself set up with some search notifications, start attending networking events, etc. 

Hi @Ramon Jacobs - good for you for wanting to take the right steps to get going with your real estate investing. Sometimes the best thing is simply time, especially when it comes to your credit score.  Not only will waiting a little while allow you to work on your credit, it will also allow you more time to save up for a down payment and additional unexpected costs.  Connect with a lender today, many of them will be willing to give you exact steps you can take to repair your credit and get you qualified for financing in the shortest amount of time possible.  Good luck!

Hi @Drew Cameron !  There's some great meetups going on around the state, check out the Network -> Events section here on BP for more info. Some have even started in-person again, which has been a nice change of pace.  

@Mark Leclair I second Richard's recommendation of Ace Title in Manchester

Nice Job @Brayden T Weese !  I'm sure it was nerve-wracking to take that first leap into an investment property, but you did it.  Best of luck, and keep us posted on how things turn out

@Andy Bauman Give Ace Title in Manchester a call.  They regularly deal with investors and wholesale/assignments

@Murali Ponnaluri congrats on your first investment purchase! There's plenty of meet-ups in Southern NH, most of which have started meeting in person again.  Definitely check them out - so helpful if you're looking for anything from tax professionals to contractors to insurance agents, etc.  

I would also recommend Kory Reynolds, or Melissa Laverty of Tax Services of Londonderry.  Good luck!
