I am a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri as well as looking for my first investment.

Always introduce yourself as ..John or maybe Reagan is better....Maybe like hi I'm Reagan like the President, your friendly neighborhood realtor....that's how they will remember you and you want them to remember you. 

Incidentally, I cancelled last year when it auto renewed as well - I guess I've got to completely delete my profile and close the attached credit card for a cancellation to stick?

I also have their expenses which are in line with my estimates/analysis.I do not believe the Seller's will like that valuation and I know they are hiring an appraiser.

Having a full renovated home in the inner city is like being a sitting duck.

Well... they are who they are. 

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

I'd like to see less censorship as well.

I have the knowledge and skills for contractor work as I have been doing handyman work for the past 10 years, as well as learning the roofing trade with a professional company.

I think I can buy it at a great price to make my margins work.I have never used hard money, but this deal requires more cash than I would like to tie down (2mil).
