What we both agree to be our weakest attribute is finances.

I have relationships with a few banks but BB&T is a standout in going that extra mile to create solutions for me. 

That way, people who have complementary attributes can reach out. 

What made that market stand out to you?

I want to start off on the right foot and build a company I could brand that will stand out.

Tim Ferris comes to mind :) Chris Clothier also IMO was a standout podcast.

But, you will likely not be the first person to ask them to be a mentor, you'll want to stand out.

I also include any notes that would make a property stand out (beach front, amenities, walking distance to restaurants/bars/entertainment), if it comes furnished (can cost $10-20k to furnish depending on your choices), any updates needed (flooring bad, furniture and style dated). i can then review the spreadsheet to see what numbers work for me depending on the property and which properties stand out. all that combined should show you what you can expect from certain markets.Just my 2 cents on how I am looking.

In other words, if you are looking at buying a 3bd 2ba home with a one car garage and is 1300 square feet, you would look at other houses nearby with "comparable" attributes.

My agent does several things which make him stand out.
