Increased Approval Chances: Borrowers with multiple valuable assets may have a better chance of loan approval, as lenders see reduced risk in cross-collateralized loans.5.

@Zev Jankovic made a good point that "scarcity doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable".

While important, it is not the only value.Selecting reliable tenants is the most valuable service a property manager provides.

I would highly recommend joining some of the many meetups and networking events in Austin for real estate investors, very valuable exchanges of ideas in person as well

When you are new as an investor, you also don't want to work with a new agent (you).Overall, I think a RE license is good for access (to homes to get reps and to the MLS) and I think the course itself is way more valuable for investors than agents (most just stay in residential and don't need to use all the weird stuff you learn).

You need to understand the market, advertise to buyers, show it in the best light, know what to say and what not to say, be skilled at negotiation, understand contracts, and much more.If you don't know how valuable a good agent can be, it's because you've never used one, or they made it look easy because they are skilled.
