patience Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I found it on my own through the help of an agent I met in Indy last year.

FF is a great tool, but you can also look up local corporate leasing companies, as well as, insurance companies/agents to work with for individuals who are going through home insurance claims.  

An architect told me that even though ADUs should not be bigger than 50% of the main house, I should be able to permit this one with SB09 if I pay a fee (about $8k according to my agent).

Don't hire an agent if youre trying to avoid agent costs.

Based on my experience as a real estate agent and investor, some of the best deals I’ve seen clients secure have been during the winter and holiday season, so it’s never a bad time to keep looking for opportunities.

Talk to your insurance agent and be sure you're covered.

He was an agent/investor but he makes movies now--they are on Tubi.

most contracts your 5k is your liquidated damages in most contracts. .. so snag that fire the agent and find another buyer if 13k is that important to you.. for sure not worth hiring an attorney for. 

I want to make sure I am doing my due diligence on each property.This is a question for your real estate agent!
