Make sure you do your research into who you are hanging your hat with.

And if they are investors themselves, most likely they will put the agent hat only when they don’t want the property for themselves.

Honestly the only reason I didn't throw my hat in the ring on this one was because of needing to put down 25% down payment and I didn't want to tie up that much capital on one property. 

They are regular people doing a job, TRYING to do a job, one where no matter what they do someone is pist they didnt do the opposite, every single time, and there is a line of lawyers ready to sue them at the drop of a hat because they have "city money", and guess where that $ comes from, we the people. 

To have a business with employees so i don't have to wear all the Hats.

Hey BP, with all the buzz about to-AirBnB or not-to-AirBnB, I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and introduce myself.I am a real estate agent and investor in Southern California.

Strutting around like the **** of the walk and dumping data and numbers and claims as to value with some sales oriented pitch will get you tossed out my door.How should new people start off and continue doing deals, I'd suggest rather hat in hand, honestly and not intruding upon some seasoned buyer has as their approach to buying.I've dumped a heck of lot of properties, way more than 50 and I never ever gave repair estimates from any contractor.

My "dream house" would be a barndo on quite a bit of land which I think would result in a lot of equity right off the bat but then Im also thinking hat if I could develop land and instead put a fourplex on it, that may also be a good option.

There’s a lot people out there with no connections whatsoever in commercial real estate and you got one in your back pocket, your spouses Dad, the current or potential grandpa to your kids or fur babies!

If they dont have a permit process yet, they will...In my opinion, make sure you have a secondary exit strategy. when you are dealing with a frontier industry, there is always the chance it can get shut down at the drop of a hat. if all your eggs are in that basket, you could be in trouble.
