I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

If you're in real estate, whether as an agent or a developer, SB-9 in San Diego City is something you need to have on your radar and smart investors can make it work to their advantage.

@Orlando Johnson- If you were going with 6% real estate agent fees the $12,500 number is incorrect. 

I’m also looking for mentorship, partnerships, and apprenticeship opportunities to sharpen my skills and learn from those who’ve been there before.If you’re an investor, agent, lender, or property manager in Milwaukee (or have experience with multi-family and house hacking), I’d love to connect!

The other challenge is selling it, there is a smaller buyer pool for hospitality in a small market but that was known going in Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

No agents involved.

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks

probably a wholesale company.. get a second opinion from a local RE agent so you dont get hosed.

I’d recommend connecting with an investor-friendly agent in DFW to find off-market deals or fixer-uppers within your budget.
