They come in different styles and sizes , some you strike with a hammer , some you pull the trigger. 

Hey BP,I'm about ready to pull the trigger on my first property to flip, I've met with a couple potential 'investor friendly' agents so far with some investment experience from larger agencies, and I'm meeting with one more agent who works at a smaller agency before I chose one, which brought up this question.  

I know I need to get on notes and have a way to do so, but just haven't pulled the trigger as I need the rental unit ramp more than the notes so most effort going that way.

Sam Ball is right except that the deals seem to be drying up if you're looking on the MLS.

Trowel a thick coat over the stain and allow it to sit for several hours (or even overnight ... you may have to mist it to keep your paste from totally drying out).  

If I am overflowing in one area but bone dry in others then I do not consider that a success.

I've studied a lot of fundamentals and basic property analysis using a cool $24 course i found using google (it was very dry, but it amazing for a begginer like me), I read "tax free wealth", a guide to va home loans, a couple other kiosaki books, and I'm about to start the abc's of real estate investing.

As long as everything else checks out I would pull the trigger.

However, from a strict investment standpoint, I couldn't pull the trigger on a Kihei condo.

Listen to the BP pod-casts, and of course read through the different forums to see what part of this biz trips your trigger.
