My husband, John and I are real estate investment rookies, and are also looking forward to the connections, the advice, the blogs and podcasts to bolster our knowledge base.

Mice infestations, especially in the attic, might indicate damage to insulation, wiring, and wood, which could become a major repair if the damage is extensive.

We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local game and without local knowledge, we’re going to get wrecked.

I’m especially grateful for your willingness to lend me some of your knowledge along the way.

Hi @Wilson Lau - do you have any knowledge of STR demand in North San Jose zip codes specifically, for example Berryessa?

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.

This approach allows you to build your knowledge and confidence over time while still keeping your nursing career as your main focus.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Just like wealth, knowledge compounds overtime to something much larger than you ever imagined it could be.

Grateful to be able to join this group to learn and gain knowledge from different people.
