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

Quote from @Jake Hughes: Whats up BP community.What professional photographers are people using to market their rehabbed properties?

That doesn't pass a cursory BS test, and risks the appraiser calling out either fixed plumbing + permits, or a licensed professional remove the bathroom.

Welcome to BP - this is a great platform to initiate your real estate journey.Dive into comprehensive guides, connect with experienced professionals, and explore a wealth of opportunities that can help you achieve your real estate goals. 

Johnson City could be a great spot for STRs, especially if you focus on hospital staff rotations, visiting professors, or traveling professionals, which would balance out any seasonal dips in tourism.For STRs, consider targeting weekend travelers exploring the Appalachian Trail, Boone Lake, or local festivals.

If you are raising capital from people you don’t have a prior relationship with, and even people who you do, they would regard you as serious only if you had a professional prepared PPM and Operating Agreement.

That kind of shoot-from-the-hip approach can be fun for a minute, but it usually ends up like my old buddy Rick’s first deal.. he bought a distressed fourplex in Tucson years back without a real plan, and while he eventually turned it into a solid monthly cash flow, he spent the first six months sleeping with one eye on the tenant ledger, praying the HVAC wouldn’t bail on him after a hot desert day.

Something to dive deeper with a financial/loan professional.

Readers should seek professional advice.

My ultimate goal is to save up enough money to invest in a fix and flip property(which my family has been doing for a while) and live in it, until I rent it out and use the equity for another home.For any real estate agents or professionals in general, how do you find consistant deals?
