Even with a great opportunity, trust is the foundation of any partnership.In my partnership, we had already worked together on multiple deals—me as the agent and him as the investor buyer—so we had established a strong foundation of trust.

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:Building a strong buyers list.Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Any advice on securing financing for potential buyers would be greatly appreciated.Personal Experiences: If you’ve owned, sold, or rented out a geodome, I’d love to hear about your challenges, successes, and any tips you might have for marketing or managing this type of property.Thanks in advance for your insights!

Just remember anyone who has acted as your employee, attorney, accountant, investment banker or broker, or real estate agent or broker within the 2-year period ending on the date of the transfer of the first of the relinquished properties is considered your agent and is disqualified from being your QI.So definitely ask them for recommendations but they cannot act as your QI on the exchange. 

I'm searching for an investor friendly agent in that city.

The owner, a family member of one of our buyers, inherited the property through probate, but they weren’t equipped to handle the renovation.The house had been left in disrepair for quite some time, with the previous owner struggling with mental health issues.

That mean that buyers could end up in real trouble if they can't make the STR work.
