Julie was engaged, knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely interested in what we were discussing.

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.

This approach allows you to build your knowledge and confidence over time while still keeping your nursing career as your main focus.

Just like wealth, knowledge compounds overtime to something much larger than you ever imagined it could be.

Grateful to be able to join this group to learn and gain knowledge from different people.

@David Pere I'm going to guess you have a good knowledge base according to your "From Military to Millionaire" tagline. 

I know you've been doing well in Toledo and you've been potentially eyeing Detroit as well.Absolutely love your story and enthusiasm, and I know you've got a lot of knowledge and inspiration you can share with investors that are just getting started.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

I got into the industry primarily to learn about real estate investments specifically long term rentals/ the BRRRR method so when it comes time for me to do my own deals I have the confidence and knowledge to do so.

General advice: use a knowledgeable independent agent.
