If you ask for a discount they may not be too interested in busting their hump to get you that next deal.If you work with an agent for a few deals, and you follow through with whatever you say you will do, the commission starts to get pretty flexible.

I'm wondering if VA would allow for us to purchase the home in advance of us being there, or if we'd just have to wait.

I don't have a tip necessarily for getting around a rehab issue - but one thing we started to do was replace one of the outlets near a counter top (near an entry foyer or in the kitchen) with a usb charging outlet.

As I have said repeated in these forums, looking up tax records only reveals who or what entity us being taxed but not necessarily the only.To determine the record owner, you need to examine the chain of title. 

Something as simple as sun-blocking blinds for the bedrooms or usb-enabled electric outlets.

I would like to get my Real Estate License and learn a little more about property management or work for a property management firm so when I do have my own properties I have some experience, now it's just about getting over that hump!

My partner and I would manage the property ourselves with a digital door lock that will allow us to generate codes for guests without us being there.

Which is why I'm here on the forums, cause ya'll are extraordinarily smart and I know many of you have gone through similar periods and can help me figure out which actions to take, rather then just reading books and listening to podcasts (which I've done a TON of).How have you handled that "first investment" hump?

But my managers cry and cry and say people get pissed about us being misleading. 

We have such a way with people, they simply love us and rather do business with us. Being
