It introduces more steps and time to get that information, because you have to go directly from each listing agent, which is problematic is we're trying to work fast to submit an offer within a span of a few hours.The bigger hurdle for most of the country is getting buyers to sign an exclusive representation agreement to work with a buyer's agent.

I would also advise to save for reserves.But there isn't a universal right path.

You’re on the right path. 

I have been a global business developer in the world of construction equipment for the first half of my life's career and have watched Kubota take over the global excavator market country by country since the 90s against a field of 30+ competing brands by offering a product that costs 5% less, has a slightly better initial quality and about similar performance.

Period.Most countries require RE licenses .

Im on the same path as you, currently looking in Ulster County - Catskills.

You have to analyze the market you are in and see what the best path to profitability is.

On top of that, I have been pushing some travel all this time, and I can no longer do it for personal reasons, so on the 14 of August, I'm not even in the country. 

Let me know if you run into any issues.I chose the city of Orlando and the free path and was immediately redirected back to the login.

I'll definitely need to weigh those factors carefully when deciding on the best path forward.Is there any advice you might have for someone new to multifamily investing, specifically when it comes to evaluating potential properties?
