As an agent, I personally would love to hear your thoughts on how the implementation of AI will affect agents system processes or how it already has, however I would love to hear about it's impact in all facets of real estate.Apologies if this is a repeat post, I haven't searched much on the forums for this yet. 

Anything past that might feel weird.Good job going to your first one, that is a great step that too many people miss out on.

Then he is going to hire subcontractors to do the job and you are going to pay them for that work as well.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

As I studied earlier, the first thing you should do is marketing, then get a call and do a property analysis to understand if it's profitable for you, then meet with the seller and sign all the necessary papers, then if there is a debt in the bank we do a reinstatement quote, then do a title search to check if there are any hidden debts, if everything is fine we look for an investor or flipper and sign an assignment of contract with him and wait for closing to get our money.
