I do know that unless a person knows what they’re looking for and how to close, it can take a lot of leads to get a deal to the finish line. 

@Laurens Van swol a few banks that we've worked with in the past allow you to close in your personal name.

I also have a personal relationship with my contractor so got a massive price break. 

Personally, I wouldn't open up a home that isn't in good repair, from a liability standpoint if nothing else.

Personally, I'm waiting for the lawsuit by a seller against his own broker for refusing to vet a potential buyer and then show to a qualified buyer.

This isn't something I've been able to keep up with personally, so I hire property managers who rely on legal counsel to keep up with it.

You might get transferred a couple times until you reach the right person.

As a beginner, I would personally get my feet wet with something a little less risky without a balloon payment like that.

Having trusted boots on the ground makes all the difference when you can’t be there in person.
