I just want to add as much value to everything I possibly can. whenever someone says they need this or that I am the first one to try and help.I hope to gain form being on BP, Knowledge from seasoned investors and a new network of people who are self driven and motivated to make deals!  

That could give you a bigger monthly cushion and push this into a favorable and valuable deal for you.

Looking for any insights that would prove valuable and/or a local agent who I can work with.

To add more context, let say you're a hustler and within the first year completed 2 flips, gaining $40k profit each, and purchased 3 rental properties netting you $3000 a month in total.

If you want to gain top of mind awareness in an area quickly, an adwerx campaign would be a big bang for the buck.Be a FSBOs best friend. 

Outside of meeting with an "investor friendly" agent while in each city, what other in-person tasks should I try to accomplish to gain a better understanding of the potential upside to the rental markets.I have renovated and rented a multifamily property before so I'm not completely new to the game, but analyzing out of state farm areas is a relatively new path that I have yet to explore. 

Is this accurate and is there a way to re-gain this interest deduction?

If you pull out 700K could you invest and earn a minimum 56K net (8%).The problem with holding valuable real estate is that it's only value is all on paper and not generating any returns.

I am trying to gain some experience and build credibility with smaller multifamily so I can graduate to larger properties.

@James C.Thanks so much for the valuable advice.
