We spent around $43,000 in repairs, around $7000 in holding cost, around $10,000 in closing cost and around $13,000 for agent fees (agent fees should be less as I am the listing agent).

We’ve been working on something really cool for the last few months, and I’m super excited to announce it here.BiggerPockets Premium is now live for agents, hard money lenders, and any investor who has an investment company (more company types to come soon!)

This is a great market report for agents to use. 

Also title companies offer CE courses for agents, but you don’t need to be an agent to attend. 

Im usually sticking up for agents here.....but what kind of experience does your agent have?

It's hard for agents to get in that network let alone a newbie investor, forget it.

  :)It isn't uncommon for agents to not understand your niche, but I think you should be honest with them at the beginning and let them know you are hunting for deals. 

I'm in a very good position for age 28, but I want to keep investing!

As an investor in Hawaii, I'd always be welcome for agents to bring me deals.
