HI @Dallas HooverI think the guy/girl you should be looking for is a commercial agent/broker.

They also appreciate honesty and transparency so they can make decisions fast without any surprises.Some of the top skills that you can focus on are:Comping: Knowing your comps inside out is a must.Negotiation: Being able to connect with sellers and strike a good deal is huge.Networking: Relationships with buyers, agents, and other wholesalers are invaluable.Also, Get to know your local market being able to talk the talk in your area will help a lot.

If I am all in on the property for 360k (purchase and some finishing construction as well as carry costs) and the home is valued at 450k or more (based on what im told by agents as well as my own analysis while staying conservative), that is 20%+ equity I believe, unless I am missing something.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As a licensed real estate agent and contractor, I speak the language and can guide you through the process to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Im an investor and agent in Phoenix who's helped a handful of folks with 1031 transactions.

Check out meetup.com and join local Facebook groups.Happy to put you in touch with an agent if you'd like.

It's like real estate agents, the bar is too low, but the brokerages like it that way because they make money off the agents who do no deals.

As an agent, I personally would love to hear your thoughts on how the implementation of AI will affect agents system processes or how it already has, however I would love to hear about it's impact in all facets of real estate.Apologies if this is a repeat post, I haven't searched much on the forums for this yet.
