I want to know when I've found a good deal in order to speak confidently with a potential seller.

.; many RE investors have comparatively longer time horizons, and I would assume that most RE investors have a lower tolerance for risk).I'm a RE investor, and don't have any crypto, but I have plenty of friends who hold a lot of crypto, and we've discussed crypto endlessly...At the risk of sounding like a luddite, even after years of discussions and reading countless articles, I still don't feel like I have a good understanding of crypto.  ...and frankly, I'm skeptical of people who claim to have a thorough understanding of it (yet, there are no shortage of self-proclaimed "experts" who describe crypto with the confidence of someone predicting a sunrise!)

I am sure your agent was more appreciative than an expert who feels (overly confident) you couldn't have gotten a better person than him, the expert.

I feel confident it's going to be very expensive.

One option with your real estate license - if you don't feel confident in finding the property yourself, you can use it to refer yourself to a more seasoned investor agent and get some of the commission. 

you'll approach your second at bat with a lot more confidence. 

Paying a bit over appraised value wouldn't be a hard no for me in every circumstance, but of course I much prefer to capture some equity on purchase, so I'd have to be 100% confident in my underwriting and strategy for the property. 

They're going to want to vet the deal themselves, so show them how much money you can make and why you're so confident.

If you’re confident they aren’t presenting your offers, I would go directly to the broker, regional manager, whoever is responsible to the agent, and lodge your complaint.

Hi BP, Wanted to share an overdue update on the 203K+basement conversion project.Good news is it’s done, I’m still confident in the original ARV estimated (and that was for fall 2023 market), and I think it looks great!
