Brokers look out for their clients, insurance agents look out for their job.

My name is Hunter Purnell. I'm originally from Kentucky and moved to Palm Beach County to pursue real estate full time. I was previously in construction equipment rentals and did real estate on the side. I have flippe...

I don't know any investors who purchase without an inspection, though I hear about this mythical "no inspector" purchaser from time to time, by way of the rumor mill or pompous listing agent. 

Hey I am an agent in Salt Lake, if you haven't already run comps feel free to reach out and I can send them over to you.

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Jerry Shen I apologize if this is a repeat of info or if it constitutes an "application" that you don't trust, but your thread prompted me to locate Propy.com, whose website says "Propy allows buyers, sellers, brokers, and escrow/title agents/notaries to come together through the utilization of a suite of smart contracts on blockchain to facilitate transactions." 

Probably this. california department of Real estate has already nailed two agents for raising rents above price gouging thresholds.. 10k fine plus who knows what kind of license discipline.

Once you narrow it down, interview agents in the area and go from there!

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.
