Since I didn't have my own listings, I offered to other agent's to sit their open house.

I’ve noticed that most of the listings on that site in SF have average at best pics which i was shocked by (I’m sure this is not your wife).

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:* Building a strong buyers list.* Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.* Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

Can you then decide to list and sell the house two months later...yes.

The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list for both two-bedroom and three-bedroom rental searches.The report also notes a shift towards more apartment searches, influenced by the scarcity of single-family homes and rising interest rates.

@Rene HosmanRent.App is an awesome free solution that I recently discovered.

We do have a realtor and lender but what are other ways or other people that can help us find good deals say before it’s listed? 

Everything I talked about in the OP was what I discovered.

Only @Melanie P. touched on a fact that I never hear; the GIANT waiting list of LEGAL immigrants who have been long delayed because of ILLEGAL immigration. 

I should have figured out it was a scam because of every reason you listed.
