I learned about them from a Rent to Retirement podcast where they interviewed a former W2 FT sales guy in tech (that's me today...) turn real estate investor.

First, in my opinion, being a real estate agent, you're either in it full-time or don't do it at all.

Curious to know opinions from real estate agents, flippers, developers and anyone in the know regarding what home buyers generally would prefer.

I live in the Las Vegas market and have investments and a real estate brokerage in Henderson.

I am a real estate broker and property manager based in Clarksville, TN and I specialize in working with investors.

Best of luck on your real estate future, it's been a fun adventure for me!

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

.- Technology & Automation: Utilizing project management software, such as Buildertrend or Monday.com, enables real-time tracking of budgets, schedules, and contractor communications.

Cold calling is a great idea to get started, but maybe try connecting with local real estate groups or online forums too—they can sometimes have off-market deals.
