I feel that this is a stupid question and I should know this but I don't want to be caught with my pants down having an ARV influenced by houses that have no updates.

Due to the current impeachment situation, will the interest rate in conventional loan be affected? Currently they are very low, would they go up by Monday?Thank you

This definitely influences if you could flip it or potentially do a BRRRR.If you want to PM I’d be happy to give my quick analysis of the property as I also am always running numbers in the area.Good luck!

Create new relationships and continue to build on the existing ones.As an agent, the main leads you want to focus on are the HOT leads (FSBO and expired) and the warm leads (personal circle/sphere of influence).Focus on speaking to as many people within a specific time block each day and do it consistently.

Your sphere of influence is #1 in my opinion. #2 is costs of doing business.

And when in escrow, a far away realtor will not meet your inspector, but have the listing realtor to do that, possibly influencing the negotiation process (hearing/seeing the issues before you get to know about them). 

My advice for new agents is that the first thing you should do is to tell everyone in your SOI (sphere of influence) that you are an agent.

I have been basing my business of of my sphere of influence no results so far.

That might influence part of where you want to invest. 

Public schools, in large cities, are too political and the children are too easily influenced.
