Starting out as a new agent is always challenging and that’s why most new agents begin by working with rentals and buyers so they can establish credibility that is needed when going on listing appointments.  

I'm all in but I must admit the whole game does feel a little intimidating, anytime I think I like a property and I think of calling the realtor, I start having self-doubt (that maybe I'm missing something and I'll come off completely stupid).I would like to ask the seasoned investors, how was your experience with your first deal?

But, sales/raising capital, especially when you are just starting, is a numbers game.  

Then they can own a property for the best years of the properties life and appreciation is forced through the continued rising construction costReal Estate is a long game not get rich quick.  

Or are they established tenents from the previous owner of the duplex?

@Stuart Udis you sound like one of the good guys :)  This line is GOLD, "90% of people who post on BP about entity formation or transferring properties from their personal name to an LLC cannot articulate the risk they believe they are protecting against"Its a game of risk/reward.

New construction is very low margin game...
