It is something I believe will help me finally get that coveted first deal and first paycheck.

Agents may also have macro data on historical data, local median sale prices, absorption rate, etc to help with your analyses and projections.Networking/build a team: Attend local meetups, virtual meetups and stay active on forums like this.A lot of this will be done in front of a PC unfortunately but if you cut out the noise, you'll be able to maximize your time.Lastly, something that has helped me tremendously with respect to focus and improving efficiency is the pommodor technique. 

Just to give further data to the equation. 

Research the market, use data analysis tools, build a team with experienced professionals, and practice deal analysis.

Finally, I occasionally buy things for a rental on Facebook Marketplace.

I’m excited to finally be in a position to take the plunge into real estate investing!

This can safeguard you at lease-end if the tenant refuses to pay the final month’s rent, as you’d have a legal basis to keep the security deposit.

The only things I have seen them take are comps and a full repair list when they are appraising the final flip.

Final appraisal came in way higher than we expected and made $57,000 after paying ourselves back and hard-money lender.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned as an STR cohost, marketer & investor-friendly Realtor is the importance of thorough market research and setting up your listing based on data.
