From what I gathered thus far as an agent, a lot of trading goes on behind the scenes.

For newer CRE developers working to establish credibility for larger scale deals, I’m curious about the role of financial documentation in building trust with brokers and sellers. Specifically:
1. How do brokers eval...

You need to have sources (agents, wholesalers, GCs) that bring you opportunity that they have mined and they are bringing it to you cause they know you buy.To the vendors of the industry: Agents, Wholesalers, GCs, PMs, what have you...you are nothing until you buy something, until then you are window shopping. 

Just know that when you make a post like this, the agents are all going to come and say their area is the best.

- Network with local agents and investors, so you start getting first crack at new deals.If you can amp up the cashflow on the first duplex, you can use the extra cash to:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- For your next acquisition.One of your biggest challenges will to keep the cash flowing when you move out of a duplex.

A lot of agents do use a combo box in conjunction with a Supra.

Far to many real estate investors and RE agents just have no clue as to how the court house works how escrow really works and etc etc..

It also puts your agent and lender in a tough spot where it could be a perceived "fraud for profit" and they could lose their license and face time/penalties if they knowingly cooperate.

I recommend reaching out to BP support for assistance.Additionally, it might be a good idea to connect with investor-friendly agents during your search.

so you can get a rough idea of what something might rent for from the tools, but then if you know an experienced PM or agent, you can say "my property is different in these ways, how much do you think that's going to impact rent?"
