Personally, my investment funds will be targeted elsewhere for the foreseeable future. 

I am the kind of person who loves finding deals and am quite good at it but don't have the capital.

The most important thing is to interview each person and do your due diligence on what matters to you.

I'm especially intrigued with the Office Hours, and that he apparently personally coaches you through RE strategies/challenges. 

Personally, my husband and I have only purchased new construction (both for investments and personal homes).

"Blocking the market" only occurs in the commerical insurance world - not personal lines.2.

They then do the first mortgage and wipe out the mortgage payment on the current home from the new homes DTI for qualification purposes.

I am currently taking a course for a real estate license ( I know, different and not really necessary for real estate investing) for the sole purpose of commitment and telling myself that if i sign up for it, I am obligated to learn it, take in as much information as possible, and make a career for myself.

If you find one who has rental properties and has first hand experience that can be VERY helpful.The conflict of interest is a common question, but really a non-issue if you consider the size of the market and how many properties an agent can buy.My team and I work with a lot of investors and yes I personally buy a handful of properties every year, but there are about 30,000 transactions every year in Milwaukee.

Can someone provide advises/agents for this purpose?
