If I send a LOI (Letter of Intent) do I still need a representative like a RE Broker for residential properties? 

@Petar Stojanovski - I have no ability to open a dispute, they completely shut me down and I can't do anything from my account

The rental is currently unregistered with the city, so I would like to end their lease, do a little upgrade and get the city's rental license before renting to a new tenant.

I would like to do a combination of both flips and rentals depending on what makes the most sense for the property location and needs.

Hello everyone, I’m new to this site and looking to learn how to buy my first rental. 

I'm looking forward to building a relationship and doing some deals together here in Yakima.

That is what our team at Rent to Retirement has been doing for the past decade with BP. 

I'm aware that Florida doesn't have hard limits on what is required up front, but I'm curious what others do. 

Yes, I am fortunate that a lot of the properties are 3.75% or lower, but I do have 4 above that, and all with mortgages under $140 K. 

There are two idea I’m batting around in my head right now to get started on my REI journey – I can do it purely on the investing side and become a private lender or a source of hard money loans to builders/developers (maybe that looks like funding a construction loan collecting interest payments while buying time to better understand the dynamics and build relationships) or I can JV/partner with a builder and get equity (upside on a flip/sale) which would be more hands on.Curious what ya’ll input, what you think is the best route for me to dip my toes into REI given my aforementioned situation and current market.
