(b) Is it okay to talk to multiple realtors at the same time (I'm thinking it would be better to have a separate realtor with lots of market knowledge and experience in each of the mentioned locations) or should I only plan to use one?

We would like to create a partnership where we are 50/50 partners and he brings the cash and I bring the experience, knowledge, and contacts ect.

Do you have any beginner tips for someone attending judicial tax sale which is supposed to be "free and clear" of liens?

I'm also comparing all of my commercial investing research against my experience in single family rentals, flips, etc.

Feel free to share any specific questions or scenarios you’re working on—I’m sure the community here would be happy to provide insights.

Simple does NOT mean "easy" or pain free. 

An LLC is not free.

Not realizing I was only getting a few hundred a month from it and from a cash-on-cash perspective I'd have been better off buying TBills with the click of a button instead of all the hard work, stress, time, and planning I put into it. 

This was the BEST scenario I could've asked for as a new agent and I am forever grateful for the experience.
