@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

And you are saying agents, the ones trained to do real estate are messing up the deal, and not you?

Wondering about paying through an escrow agent or something similar 

Should I reach out to local agents, wholesaler like New Western?

I'm an agent, investor, and property manager.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

We had to pay a biohazard company over $9k for a thorough clean up.

Hi Steven,It sounds like you and your wife, Renee, have a wealth of experience in the real estate and construction fields, which is a great foundation for starting your real estate investing business.Given your background in residential remodeling and home inspections, and Renee's experience as a real estate agent, you're off to a strong start.

But because the seller won't share my offer to the seller, me nor the agent knows what the seller wants.

The timeline is years for clean up and decades for reconstruction and recovery.
