I'm wondering if it is necessary for me to get an agent, or if I can contact the bank/lawyer and go through the entire process on my own. 

My wife have a newly formed LLC and we hope to have the LLC purchase properties. 

I recently finished forming my LLC so I can start flipping houses.

Anyway, personally those feel like too much of a risk for me at this point, as I don't have any experience with hiring/supervising contractors etc, and I suppose doing this the regular remodeling / general contractor way, any potential profit would go to the GC rather than me.So maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that for a newbie it's rather hard to get those kind of deals on properties?

Real estate is easy for me but time away from my family is not.

Would you say that an FHA is the best option for me?

In my opinion using Google Analytics to identify sellers is kind of a retroactive response because once they hit your site they have already been targeted in some form or fashion. 

Around here, that's a good deal, however, not good enough for me to chase except that with this particular deal the seller is helping with financing.I'm not looking forward to managing it, but I need the cash flow right now and it will bring me that.  

If you are a registered voter in independence or know someone who is who would sign this petition, the person collecting signatures is Fred McGary - not sure if I can post his email address here, might be a no no- but you can PM me and I can put you in touch.There is also a new group formed regarding this issue on Meetup - its called Missouri Landlords, to stay informed, please visit this group so we don't have to go to 10 different places to post information.
