Have you asked the agent this question?

Dear Real Estate Agent or Realtor:How much time do you give your client to review a contract before you hand it off to the next client ?

The initial plan is a 1200 sf build out with plans to expand back away from the cliff later as finances and interest rates are more favorable.

I want to minimize my out-of-pocket expenses and am considering using a HELOC on my home or leveraging the equity from my first rental down the line.

We use a conversational AI and appointment setting platform in follow up, outbound, and after hours lead intake.

can join $1000 a month which gets you 50 direct wholesaling leads (1m - 6m old), access to a list of buyers, and all the tools needed to execute the deal. 

Hello all I'm new to bigger pockets I've been learning about real estate and the different ways real estate can benefit me now that I have a plan and know more specifically what I want out of it I'm just stuck on how I should go about buying my first rental property

@megan boyle For the price point you are targeting we have had good luck in Eastern CT.

Then, the last few months I find the electric bills to be exorbitant, like 3-4X normal.
