I'm also going back to school to get a bachelors in business management with an emphasis on finance.I'm currently an Inventory Specialist at the Apple Retail store.

Glad to see you here Christina.I am principal broker and investor myself as well with emphasis on large multifamily and retail.

This is a general discussion question...I am curious as to where you get your data, as a Broker nand an Appraiser, I would think that it is critical for the fix and flipper, buy and holder, wannabe wholesaler, or general investor to have MLS access...do you also preview what is on the market when attempting to make a rational investment decision in order to have a strong ARV as well as an understanding of what others are supplying in the same price point, ie. the competition, I put zero credibility or credence in Zillow, yet I see so many people placing emphasis on this weighted algorithm...understanding that this is a big country with many different markets, I am curious to hear your feedback.

As nice as those are, my emphasis is cash flow at this point in time, and given the dearth of reasonably-priced MFRs or SFRs in SD, I'm forced to look elsewhere.My hard-money lender here has taken the plunge in Chattannooga, and my General Contractor on one of my San Diego MFRs is from Nashville and strongly recommended North Nashville.I've seen posts here speak glowingly of both cities. 

I received my BA from California State University, Fullerton majoring in Financial Management and my MBA from University of Phoenix with emphasis in Business Administration.

The emphasis is on working with lenders and title throughout the process, emphasizing transparency and knowledgeable parties. 

I went to college for real estate, acquiring a degree in finance with RE emphasis from Wichita State University (go Shox!).

We prefer to utilize value billing which places the emphasis on the client and the value they are receiving rather than my personal costs which is what hourly billing is focused on.

I am currently looking in the midvalley with emphasis on Albany, Corvallis and Lebanon areas.

I think you'll definitely find our emphasis on training and education very helpful :)Best of luck, and looking forward to connecting soon!
