I very much appreciate your comments  and will carefully consider them before engaging in my first RE deal.

Are you asking to track the workflow process for rehab/flipping/contract work or the workflow that starts with seller engagement through to closing?

I think if you intend to engage the services of the real estate agent later in the transaction - in other words, there is an assumption of payment - it would be fine to reach out for comps.

Thanks all for the welcome, looking forward to engaging in the community here!

That means engaging with an attorney to do their part in court, and with the sheriff to do their part physically removing the tenant.

So excited to start engaging more with the community!

I'd love to meet some new people.Thanks and look forward to engaging with the BP community more!

Those who remain interested and are willing to fight for your business or at minimum stay engaged, are the type of people you want to work with.In terms choosing an agent, explain to the others that you've connected with someone else who you feel is able to help with your needs (if they even follow up). 

Engage with the seller, get a purchase agreement and the private money lender a basically handle the rest.  

I am in the process of buying a commercial property with one agent (with a signed Buyer Representation Contract), and am also ready to engage in purchasing a second property--closing within a month of each other.
