Since I am the principal broker I am not giving away half to some company I am hanging my license with.I am on internal systems for first looks because the brokerages know I screen my buyers upfront and look at financials.

Filipe Pereira one other quick thing to note .... being honest with the seller(and yourself) that the deal does not meet your criteria financially does not necessarily mean that's the end of it.

I want to build my financial knowledge as well as learn the market that I am in like you said. 

Even the HOA's for example will tow vehicles on any properties that are not in good standing with them... so with a contract, I don't see why we can't do the same.I know the Landlord Tenant Act in Virginia does not cover this, but it made me think, what if we gave them a 5 day notice to pay rent, plus with that, a notice that their vehicles would be towed after the 5 days if not paid, that is of course assuming our leases have an addendum or wording to give us the right to do that.Has anyone done this, or ran into any issues?

Financial info about me:I have my own home directly next to a hospital where I work in Baltimore, MD (I work as a Nurse).  

I am also an Engineer but looking to make some investments so I can work towards financial freedom.  

As it stands my knowledge is pretty basic, just what I've learned browsing the forums and gleaming through materials online, but I'm a quick study and want to really make an effort My specific areas of interest are wholesaling, buy and hold for rent purposes, and flipping once I become knowledgeable enough about the Philadelphia market. 

I have zero investments at this point but my plan is once I've built up some money and in a financial position to purchase my first home (2-3 years) to purchase a multi family home, a duplex up to a quad plex depending on what kind of deals I find at the time and the market.

If another agent isn't doing their job and your client (possibly your LLC) stands to benefit from that, who cares?

My journey to the world of REI began with my personal experience as a renter, HGTV, Dave Ramsey podcasts, a desire to become an agent, and now the Bigger Pockets podcast.I am most enthusiastic about building a portfolio of rental properties for financial freedom.
