Hello Everyone,
I am currently in the market for a knowledgeable and proactive real estate agent in Florida to assist with sourcing high-potential Fix-and-Flip opportunities. My primary goal is to identify properties...

Those are opportunities for experienced investor but you're not experienced.

As for other amenities, some crowd-pleasers that won't break the bank are coffee maker + starter pack of pods, basic workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands), phone charging stations by the beds, and basic kitchen essentials like olive oil, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.

I have been experiencing what you're talking about.

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.

They all say they will be on the lookout for me, and they are experienced realtors.I did however get one from here, bigger pockets, and this realtor hasn't worked with investors before, butis asking me to sign a contract so I am working with them exclusively.The reason I am asking what to do, is because this realtor with the contract is very new, but I heard that most realtors will ask you to sign one if theyre serious.

Would also love to connect with experienced Cleveland rental investors.Much Thanks 2% deals are hard to come by but they do exist.

I look at Yelp for yoga studios, vegan restaurants, cafes.  

Experienced developers, could you tell me how the process/financing works?

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.
