Right now for me, the focus is on flipping but only because I have the right agent and contractor, I could not be successful alone.

Even with a great opportunity, trust is the foundation of any partnership.In my partnership, we had already worked together on multiple deals—me as the agent and him as the investor buyer—so we had established a strong foundation of trust.

I'm an agent in addition to being an investor.  

Are you an agent or an investor?

I would recommend starting with those and then reaching out to an experienced investment oriented agent once you are ready.

This includes if the property does not close.Your agent should be holding your hand through this process.  

When you are new to the game, agents, wholesalers, other investors, and even you can push you around.

Posting this duplex that I found here in the heart of Eastern Michigan, I've been frequently trying to run numbers on duplexes and investment property listings as an up and coming agent and investor to try and gain whether a deal is good or bad.

I see a disservice being provided in the given example by the real estate agent by not bringing creative strategies on both the sellers and buyers position on this particular deal.
