If you are in the CLT area and are looking to connect with othr like-minded individuals, I would love to grab a coffee with you!

@Mario MoralesI think this is a common question and the value that an agent will bring will vary by individual needs.

Quote from @John Friendas: Hey,My investing partner and I have reached an agreement where he would have the debt under his name and apply for it individually, and I would do the majority of the management (he is out of state and my income is half his).

In this situation we have a former-tenant  hyper sensitive to return of full security deposit (when unit wasn’t returned in good condition) and we are  experiencing a few unique damages.

As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2025, the real estate market continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for investors, brokers, and lenders alike.

This opportunity doesn’t occur frequently but it takes these attributes to take advantage when they do.3 - Blind luck - do enough deals, the unique opportunity tends to present itself.  

Some of the easiest deals my dad did were taking a large piece of land and subdividing it into smaller pieces and then selling them off individually.

I would echo this, it is a great REIA and the best place to find local, like-minded individuals and resources. 

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

BTW there is a free trial and the Starter monthly plan is $119.It also allows you to search through consumer information such as property owner "credit worthiness," Credit card usage, buying power, age, language, family members in the house, and many other fields that are above and beyond property characteristics, which is unique.
