Hello BiggerPockets world,

I am a RE newbie and looking to begin building a portfolio.  I having been talking to lenders and recently got pre-approved.  My wife recently sent me a link to Bank of America's Home Grant/Down Payment Grant programs offering up to $7.5K in closing costs costs and up to $10k in down payment assistance.  I have read as much of the fine print as I can find and other than using a big bank, it doesn't seem like a horrible deal.  I also feel like there has to be a catch, no one gives away free money without some type of stipulation tied to it.  My next step is actually reaching out to a BoA advisor for  more information but prior to doing so does anyone have any experience with these programs (particularly in the Denver market)?  Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Hello Bigger Pockets family. I am new to the real estate world. I want to try to start right and I am looking to make my first property an investment property. I have a close friend that is a fairly new real estate agent (licensed within the last year) and he insists on me using him. I am worried he doesn’t have the experience or the same mindset as me. Should I be shopping for an agent that has more experience and maybe investment properties of their own? I think I know the answer here and probably need to prep myself for the tough conversation. Any advice is much appreciated!
