Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Seller's agent saying he doesn't want to put any money in until after the inspection contingency is waived, But how do I guarantee the work gets done?

Hey @Alexandra Reeves, I would reach out to some agents in the area.

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

you're the boss when it comes to a BRRRR - no one is going to take responsibility for getting anything done, not the agent, not the contractor, not the PM, not the locality, not anyone but you.

I can recommend @Zach Smith at Cetan Funds for hard money and @Melissa Hartvigsen on the agent side (she has a lot of Beaverton experience).

An agent brought it to me.

Search my recent posts as in the last couple days I posted a list of wholesalers and agents with pocket listings that service San Diego area.  

We're based in Frisco, TX and would love to make connections with other newbies, seasoned investors, agents and lenders in the area.
