All of which may factor in. 

The baby on the way should not factor into your decision. 

I know there is a huge shortage of housing and that has driven up price in the past couple years (along with other factors such as the pandemic, population growth, etc) so, I see listings for 2br-1bth for up to 2200 on places like Zillow, Redfin, etc.  

As an investor, I value an agent coming to me with deals based on their in depth knowledge of the real estate landscape, networking, connections, and additional information they might be privy to. 

That’s the very simplified version but raising capital is always your biggest limiting factor so the more investors you can connect with the better.

Hi Shane,Congrats on the new addition to your family!

In additional to conducting educational workshops, I also write blogposts for their websites.

Some assets can be valued significantly lower than their actual worth because of illiquidity and other factors.

Investors can purchase underutilized single-family properties, split the lots, develop additional units, and significantly boost property value.
