Stay disciplined with your numbers, build relationships with local investors and agents, and be patient, good deals will come with persistence and the right approach.Good luck!

HiI am starting my real estate journey in 2025 and started connecting with agents and lenders.

Also you should inquire with insurance agents about the cost to insure.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

I’m curious if you’ve had experience with this approach, and if so, I’d appreciate any insights you might be able to share.Additionally, do you have a real estate agent you would recommend who specializes in investment properties in the area?

I would actually recommend using the agent finder for the market your looking to get started in to find you an agent that specializes in out-of-state investors in your chosen market.

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

From Brooklyn to Florida and Mississippi, your expertise as an investor, agent, and designer is impressive.We’re excited to have you here and look forward to learning from your experiences as you work to change lives through real estate.

Are you a real estate agent?

I felt I had a good head start since I was already a real estate agent and was very comfortable with finding comps and figuring out the ARV.
