To build momentum, I’d start small, assemble a reliable local team, and ensure the properties I invest in have strong fundamentals.

Hello Derick, If you have not already done this, I suggest the Build Your Investing Team> menu/link at the top left of the page on Bigger Pockets and go through the process of building a team.

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

When we wholesale with integrity, we create win-win situations and build real, long-term relationships.Let’s bring back the dignity in this business. 

If you're an agent or investor, how do you build trust and partnerships in global markets? 

Some of the new build SFHs are very affordable with in-house lender rates.

One book I highly recommend is “Buy It, Rent It, Profit” by Bryan Chavis—it’s a great read for investors looking to build long-term wealth.Best of luck with your real estate journey!

Developers have been on a building rampage for the last 5 years, so we've got brand new apartments sitting vacant and properties less than 50% full in many areas of town. 

I'll work with an attorney to assist with drafting that.Q2: Yes, I'll talk to my CPA but we'll most likely hold the property for at least 1 year under the LLC given our timeline to design, permit, build and sell the property, meaning I should avoid short-term capital gains.  

You know this and the reason I am saying that I am considering in getting a real state license is the connections, the access to listing off market and possibility of earning commission that I can use to increase my portfolio.I think that being an investor agent will help me build a reputation and that can be good or bad.
