Happy to connect you to agents/boots on the ground

I'm an agent and investor in Phoenix AZ specializing in flips and STR properties.

It's not due to pricing, it's due to seller stubbornness and agent gatekeeping.

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

I was told by an agent Knoxville new build don't sell to investor because of limited inventory. 

Specifically, creating a video that other agents in your market can use to post. 

The real estate agent angle is a good one, but it may take away from time with your kids and limit your investing biz in the end. 

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

After paying 2% commission to a buyers agent(no sellers commission paid because I’m an agent and will list it) $12,500 we are looking at walking away with roughly $147,000, $73k each.

Or, the trust (with trustee other than yourself) owns the property with LLC as beneficiary.Costs: LLC registration, annual secretary of state fees, agent for service fees, bookkeeping fees, tax prep fees, attorney fees to unravel structure mistakes, others I can't think of.Also, there are challenges getting title insurance, property insurance and loans for a trust.This is a way to get your name out of public record, no comment on whether it's good or bad.
