Some of those being sales tactics, MLS access, network for investing, market data, insider industry partner networking, obviously extra income to supplement your USAF income, helping fellow vets/servicemembers and any buyers/sellers at that, and not having to pay an agent when you are accumulating properties as well. 

Honestly, I think the thing that has worked the best for me is forming great relationships with other agents in the area and being strong with my communication.

Hi All, 
I am completely new to this platform. Looking for insights on areas for investing on a townhome with potential appreciation and rental cash flow. Are there any good markets for 2024?

Thanks,

@Andrew Stouse Started out close to 30 years ago at age 21 with some shady business partners on two owner financed apartment buildings.

We have been going to local meetups instead to network for our construction and development business as a way to build capital and partner with other investors.

I JV’d with my partner’s LLC.  

Based on my experience, I strongly believe that investing in a Hollywood property with a pool can provide the best overall return on investment (ROI) and speculative value growth in the area.

If you've truly struck a great bargain finding a buyer or partner for the deal is the easy part. 

Or, find a partner, as Chris Mason suggests.

I'm an agent, so I'm not anti agent/broker, I just think there is a lot of housing supply frozen in ice because sellers need a real partner to work through various issues they have before they can sell.
