Been looking into Birmingham and talking to agents.

My goal of course, is financial independence as soon as possible. 

I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. 

Quote from @Account Closed: Honestly have no clue, but my guess would be contact a lawyer who specializes in real estate.I am also trying to get a hold of other wholesalers in my area and real estate agents.

Each one offers its own set of opportunities for appreciation and cash flow.

Cold calling, mailers, signs, google/Facebook, RE meetups, RE agents are all ways a whole sales would find deals

This is the hospitality sideThey are two totally different skillsets and so I think they should be taught independently of one another.

It's worth comparing terms between your current lender and others to see who offers the best deal in terms of rates and fees.Purchasing a Property: Whether you purchase through regular listings, an agent, or an auction depends on your risk tolerance and expertise.

I’ve watched a lot of videos on how to screen and how to set up work with contractors, so I’m hopeful to build those relationships more in this area in the future.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Recently, our real estate agent did a market analysis and estimates we can sell for between $575K-$585K, resulting in a net gain after all of our fees of about $100K.
