That will require that wholesalers become licensed agents.

A buddy of mine, who’s been an agent in the Phoenix market for nearly as long as I have, once had a client who stumbled into a 1031 that shot their returns through the roof because they snagged a property near one of those new tech corridors sprouting up.. from what I’ve heard, that corridor’s been buzzing with interest lately.What’s exciting right now is seeing how investors are leveraging 1031 exchanges to pivot into markets that are on fire.

I'm also a real estate agent, have been a landlord, leasing agent, and property manager.

I would think about having a local broker/agent give you a BPO on it and see what the number comes back in at..Think this might be where Chris was going, but depending on your area and what sales look like in the end of the year months, usually sales are a lot slower, that might be a driving factor.

I also have learned Memphis can be quite spotty (a dangerous block can be just a couple blocks from a good renting location so you really need a boots on the ground agent/team that you can trust). 

Was it through some guru, or a local agent?

Double check on permits if the previous owners has done a remodel.Do not rely on agents representation.Do not work with a dual agency as a buyer, the agents first commitment is to the sellers.Allow at least a year of seasoning before determining the profits of an investment.Happy to share.

Texas is one of the most stringent states on agents as I said.

While we both have strong W-2 incomes, the large number of properties I own has made conventional lenders and agents caution that securing a loan for our primary residence could be a highly complex process.I’ve consulted with some local banks I work with, and one has expressed potential interest in financing our primary home.

Becoming an Agent sounds like a good idea, but is that a career you want to do?
