When it comes to RE, he is as passionate as it gets!

With a teaching and leadership backgroud, I have an interest to help others write their programs or review their presentations to address every learning style.

as others have stated, if a RE agent does not believe they can sell the property, find a different agent that believes they can sell the property.  

The re-vitalization of Flagler st by Moishe Mana, the big bets billionaire Ken Griffin is making on this city, brightline train, the Beckham soccer stadium will be ready for N America World cup 2026, the double decker hwy $840M Signature bridge connecting downtown miami and miami beach and the 30 acre park underneath it. 

Dave Stech speaks on a number of RE podcasts, many times on MC Laubscher's Cash Flow Ninja podcast (one recently #848 on September 16, 2024). 

I know in my 50 years of being an RE Broker in Multiple states I have had to just go direct its usually frowned upon per ethics but if you think you need to nothing stopping your agent from doing that..  

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?

Then just write a check.  

I have a lot of other investing ideas as well that I hope to be able to use in the near future as well. 

One bit of advice where you can be ahead of the curve is to write down your screening criteria for possible tenants and commit to following it.
