We crafted it for a reason.As @Waylon Zook said, get 2-3 bids and go with the one you trust the most based on references and perceived competence.

Arguing on BiggerPockets is not worth your time, look straight ahead, perfect your craft and all of this noise will fade eventually ;)

In order to fund these properties, I intend on focusing my craft on wholesales and building/saving the money for the down payments on the houses.

Get an agent who knows the market and can help craft a competitive bid, and with a mortgage lender with a good reputation and quick close time!

Its part of learning your craft and getting really good at it.

@Lucas Craft Lenders vary with that one.

Yes being a realtor is great and you get to help people get into homes, but it takes a lot of work and dedication to the craft.

They rejected it but there's no way they didn't think it was a serious offer.Also thanks to BP and the rookies boot camp I made 2 offers this time, giving better terms to the one I wanted.Two meticulously researched, thoughtfully crafted offers I worked on with my lawyer and realtor.

Every deal is so different that there aren't many commonalities, but I'll give a couple examples; you'd be shocked how many agents blindly throw offers out on their client's behalf without even calling the listing agent to get a feel for how to craft an offer that will be meaningful for the seller, competitive vs what they have on the table, but still reasonable for the buyer.

Analyze every property that comes your way in your desired market— learn market rents and values, craft your own ROI spreadsheet, keep running the numbers and checking comps.
