I am an investor myself and also own a real estate brokerage with a hyper-focus on working with investors.

If I were you, I would start this way, if you are new to real estate investing.

Hi BP, I am looking to invest the OKC market long term hold real estate. 

Since this is my first real reno, I will do a good portion of the demo but will hire someone to do reno so I can watch and learn for future projects. 

Clear Title. 20+ years as local Real Estate Broker.

I myself don't have a lot of appetite for risk which is why I started investing in real estate.

Im a real estate broker.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self-storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

They equate the period leading up to the time its ready to rent as the risky part of the real estate process and pay a premium to bypass that part but this leaves them with unreasonable expectations because the real estate they purchase is inherently risky.
