Reason being, these loans take longer to close and sellers who are looking to close quickly will oftentimes prioritize other offers.

@Tony Zhang the only thing I would add is that after you follow the advice of the folks here and prioritize what is what, weigh whether the tenant requested repairs can be completed for increased rent...$600 in upgrades for $1,200/yr in increased rent is a no brainer...

Looking forward to collaborating with all of you and I’m very excited to be part of the BP community!

@Nathaniel WilliamsIf you are just starting in real estate investing, you can hold off on finding a CPA.I would prioritize the following professionals before finding a CPA1) Real Estate Agent / Wholesaler2) Property Management company / Contractor3) LenderBest of luck to you in your search

It took me nearly 9 months to find my first house hack because I knew what my criteria was and I prioritized that over finding something fast.

I am wondering how you guys would structure this collaboration.

Otherwise, you are at the mercy of whomever you choose to do business with and in our experience 80+% of them prioritize their goals before yours:("Reverse engineer" your way into figuring out what to buy & where:1)How hands on do you want to be?

Most new investors don't need to prioritize building a relationship with either of these professionals at the start and actually shouldn't because they could be wasting time.

Productivity suffers without collaboration inside a workplace.

Always thrilled to partner or collaborate if anyone else following this discussion is open to that.Hope you had a great weekend.
