A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side. 

A purchase of $209k, $15k rehab, and ARV of $240k doesn't get you any thing back after you factor in all of the closing costs to purchase and to refinance.

No qualifying and the ability to use your money to purchase something else?

The BEST lenders I have ever worked with (as a borrower) are, as you say, quick to respond, reliable, honest, and never leave me hanging. 

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.

Some rents in what some define as an A may hold strong values but rents compared to purchase price may not be comparable to a B.

The more that you talk the more potential buyers see what they are dealing with.Lori you purchased a property that was occupied.

I would lay eyes on anything you are considering purchasing first hand.

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.
