Would love to connect and talk shop sometime.

It sounds like you just don’t have that type of relationship with any agents in your area yet, or you’re shopping for properties that aren’t worth the effort for an agent to beat the bushes to find for you, or you’re not the kind of buyer who agents will send their off market deals to.

The home is right across from a shopping center anchored by a Target, Kohls, LA fitness, and more.

Did you just shop for rates or also TCV? 

Get ready to spend some serious time shopping insurance and make sure to get rental income replacement coverage in case of a loss.  

Not really a fan of the nationwide shops, or even the ones that say they service a huge area. 

Shopping for a refinance on an existing farm that is 50%+ paid off and profitable.Licensed cannabis farm is in California.

If you really want to go down that path, I suggest that you apply to work for a syndicator or RE Private Equity shop as an analyst or operator for a year or two, and browse through 100+ deals over that time period, underwriting each one, and trying to figure out, over that time, which ones you were "right" about, and which ones you were "wrong" about, as best you can.

Either they did not do their homework right (appraisal comes in lower than their estimate, insurance/taxes are higher than their estimate, property did not have clear title, and/or the property has deferred maintenance) or they are shopping without having any experience in the industry. 

We of course went to a three day work shop.
