It was hell until I found one.

I am starting to really consider out of state investing as well, just haven't found where I want to be yet. 

This was despite my explaining that I would be making a cash purchase and already owned residential rentals in the area.Eventually, I found one or two agents who were enthusiastic to work with me although not after first promoting their own noncompetitive pocket listings.

I learned as much as I could online in order to get a small foundation of knowledge, then I found a mentor who was already successful and learned from them.

You do need to send in a check with the extension, the irs provides guidelines for calculating the amount.Real estate investing complicates taxes sufficiently that I have found I save way more than I spend by having a CPA who specializes in real estate investor tax returns.

I found this deal through a relative, we negotiated without an agent through a period of x months.

The guest found you on the platform, so the platform provider deserves compensation for the marketing service they provided.

In the past, I've had great responses and found excellent section 8 tenants.  

I’ve worked for the Newark Housing Authority in NJ for 5 1/2 years and I will tell you, if they found out you were making side deals aka having the tenant pay more than what they were approved for, that will lead to debarring the landlord from any future S8 deals if he/she chooses to.

I'm so curious to know what the situation is and what information you found!
