Hey Michael, I network with many agents in Columbus.

An agent can really help get more eyes on your property through MLS and their network, plus some agents have investor clients ready to go and can market it off-market directly to them.

Full disclosure - a lot of it comes down to being willing to go out and network at different events.

Your scattered approach is going nowhere fast (analysis paralysis) and is highly likely to result in someone taking advantage of you:(Recommend:1) Figuring out what investment approach suits your skills & risk tolerance2) Determining where in the US to apply your chosen approach3) Learning everything you can about that market4) Networking & building contacts & team in the market5) Doing a "test" investment in that market to make sure your expectations are met6) Investing more if your expectations are met.-- If not, go back to step #1 as you many have chosen the wrong approach!

Milton and Farmington can be excellent choices, too, often with more budget-friendly options and the chance to add value in less saturated areas, might have better cash flow luck here.For lenders and agents, I'd recommend networking with those who have experience specifically in the NH Seacoast markets since these towns can vary in terms of tenant demographics and rental demands.

While I manage my expenses responsibly, I don’t have a significant amount of capital leftover each month to invest in holding properties or funding larger ventures.That’s why I’ve been exploring wholesaling as a potential entry point into real estate—it seems like a feasible way to build up the necessary capital while learning more about the market and the process.

There are no fees to get in, usually has about 50 + strong, educational, forced networking, and overall a good vibe. 

For apartments, especially larger complexes, not so much.

Just depends on your experience level and the network you have.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications.2.
