I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

I am an investor in Cincinnati (not an agent/realtor), a native Cincinnatian and enjoy talking with anyone interested in the area.

We also give the agent $100 for every current tenant that resigns for another 12 month lease.

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

Do not simply trust a turn key provider, a wholesaler or even a real estate agent that is supposed to be looking for your best interest.

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.

Became a real estate agent after I fell in love with home ownership processes and out of love with my 9-5.

Being an agent will take time to replace your income, 1-2 years.
