Hi, @Kimberly Fisher InvestHER are great meetups to attend, super informative and very welcoming. They have chapters all over the city. Center City, Conshohocken, and Ardmore. They meet monthly and have speakers from all backgrounds and levels of investing experience. I highly recommend starting there!

@David Brooks Hi David, I completely understand your hesitation just starting out. There are a lot of moving pieces to consider especially when you're working on your first deal. Don't get overwhelmed, you're on the right track! Getting your LLC set up and your finances in order is great first step. Hoboken & New York City definitely have smaller profit margins compared to other cities, such a Philadelphia, so I understand why you're having some deal flow issues. Don't be afraid to reach out to agents. They can be a great resource when starting out especially when trying to identify a target market. If nothing else it's nice to get their perspective on things. I'm a licensed agent in the Philly area and I specialize in investment properties. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

I couldn't agree more guys. Being responsive and available to my buyers is my number one priority, nice to know I'm headed in the right direction!

@Spencer Cornelia I agree, being able to run comps and knowing the trends that will put the property a step above the rest like finishing the basement or moving the laundry room is so important, I think that goes hand in hand with learning and predicting the next wave of development. I have always had a passion for real estate and I'm a firm believer in continuous learning. It nice to hear what an out of state investor looks for!

@Bill Plymouth Thank you for your post. We have an entire team dedicated to continually finding and evaluating off-market deals. Having the pipeline you speak of is our main goal, its encouraging to know we're putting our efforts in the right direction!

Thank you for your advice @Cassi Justiz, that must have been incredibly frustrating as an investor to have to wait around for a showing. I am a firm believer in valuing peoples time and will certainly make every effort to be available for my investors.

Hello BP,

I'm looking to start a conversation on what investors value most in the agent they use. I am currently working for one of the largest private investment brokerages in Philadelphia and Delaware County. I have full confidence in the value and assessment that is done for each deal put out. 

In the spirit of continual personal development, I'd love to get your thoughts on what sets some agents apart from the rest. What's the x-factor that draws you to work with them?
