I connected with an investor friendly agent How did you finance this deal?

Quote from @Tanner Cindrich: Hey Sharon, As an investment agent here in Pittsburgh, the market is booming!

A bootcamp is how we came into the mix.I'm also a real estate agent, and investor that left their W2 in March to pursue real estate ventures full time.  

Hey Leslie, I'm an agent down here in Macon and work with mostly investors.

Lived in upstairs unit for 3 years, then rented both units out for the next 12 or so years Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'd recommend you start with reaching out to successful agents in the area and asking their opinion on where people like to invest.

Currently the plan is to use a lawyer the selling agent recommended. 

All-in I would have like 20-25k saved up, assuming you don't pay agent fees and can find a lender that will float you the first chunk of construction money. 

Why not do Property Management, I see you already are a licensed RE agent, getting a license through Hotels & Restaurants is not too difficult.

-typically an agent and a PM will not oversee a major rehab.
