This person should ideally be familiar with real estate investment strategies and flipping houses in particular.

Personally, I've bought plenty of real estate courses in the past.

@Brian Willie personally i would not do this. 

I do have some personal debt that I'm working to get rid of.

I personally have lived in both..

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

In their first year, many agents  go through their personal network and get all the "low hanging fruit".

I personally have no problem driving in the rain if there was any.

Fintech companies may not have the same obligations or mechanisms in place to address customer grievances effectively.4.

I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the company but the smaller guy it is just his personality.
