If you've only been a commercial agent for 6 months, you are just learning the basics.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Ultimately, it's all about the right balance—staging should always be tailored to the home and the market it’s in, which is where working with a knowledgeable agent really makes a difference.Would love to hear your thoughts as well!

Quote from @Edward James smith: Hello, I currently own a single family house with an ADU, and a duplex.

I live overseas and don't have ready access to a local market to research, understand, and invest on my own.

Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.

the profit is far less than I typically achieve but this is an awesome cabin (it was owned by a country music star in the past). 

I personally own a large portfolio here in Memphis and I hired a property manager for the very first proeprty and I still use them today. 

Your VA loan will be crucial to your real estate investing growth, especially since it affords you the potential opportunity to own more than one property, depending on your overall allotment.For active military personnel, that conundrum of where to invest and where you will end up is always part of the issue that sometimes causes analysis paralysis so it's great you have one in VA Beach already.

I don't know about your state but mine (TN) has a lookup tool that will show you the agent's original license date, the brokerage incorporation date, etc.
