Hi friends!

A friend advised me to check reviews online and look for someone local with experience in single-family homes.

Making memories with family and friends for pictures and videos become what is most treasured as people get older and more life experience.

absolutely... but be careful... be smart in what you invest in... trust me my friend https://www.biggerpockets.com/...take warning ... be smart... be vigilant

Recently I had a conversation with a friend and real estate agent who wanted to purchase a home.At the time, they were looking for an agent to represent their family on the transaction.

I am looking into more cost friendly options as I am paying for a registered agent service. 

. - PRO TIP: many builders lose their license then create new company in name of wife or other relative/friend.2) Check Better Business Bureau, but don't assume all the complaints are legit. - If there area MANY, then that is a problem.

You could look for a PML (friends or family and offer to pay them interest but lower than what the HELOC is). 

@Yixuan Du I would recommend going to local Real Estate Investor meet ups in your market to meet like minded individuals like yourself who have already done what you want to do.

We would love an air bnb there to visit family and friends though!
