Understand your short term and long term goals.

I want a real estate agent with a hustler's mentality, who knows the neighborhoods, studies appreciation and deal analysis already, understands short-term rentals, and is potentially looking to be a scalable partner with me.

Obviously, you want areas with short DOM.3.

In short, by listening to your clients and providing a great service, you will make a profit. 

As someone who's spent the past 20 years building software to ingest massive amounts of random data, the short answer is, it's really difficult to get accurate contact data.

I'm sure some can predict what's going to happen (much like the stock market), but no one really knows for sure.  

If the deal goes south and you have next to zero money in the deal, selling a short sale or walking isn't as risky for you since you aren't losing much.

We both work in finance, so we’re pretty comfortable running the numbers.Our combined W2 income is ~$350K, and I work remotely with a very flexible schedule.We’ve saved over $200K across various assets (stocks, crypto, cash), and we live frugally, saving around $100K a year after taxes.

I will DM you shortly. 

Hard money isn’t cheap, so bridging that with a seller carry might help you short-term, from what I’ve heared.
