I have an idea of an initial investment and returns I would like to hit, but would love to speak with those of actual experience to see if my numbers are realistic.

I'll just say that nothing is going to teach you more in this space than practical experience.

New agents can often compensate for lack of experience with enthusiasm, professionalism, hard work, or even their good looks.

Any insights/people with experience in this market who can chime in?

Curious about the on-the-ground experience.

Please summarize your real estate experience. 

I would like to find a mentor/agent who has experience with Foreclosures (HUD) who would be willing to answer questions and work together in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.I'm on a new journey in life and finally taking steps in the Investor direction... something I should have done a long time ago.

Has anyone had good experience with Furnished Finder in your market or if in Houston even better?

This is way more conservative than a lot of people I talk to and has definitely meant that I lost out on opportunities, but it gives me bigger peace of mind and in shifting markets I feel better prepared to adapt if need be. 

I'd be interested to hear others that have specific experience with them.
