Jan Styrczula - I got excited to work with someone and I decided to go ahead before signing clear contracts with a lawyer (just did a letter of intent highlighting the basic terms).

That was the highlight of my short realestate career,only been in for a few years.

Definitely check out the Marketplace ads on this site as there are many posts from lenders circulating that forum with highlights about the different loan programs they offer!

Maybe team up with one of the experienced brokers in your office and highlight some entry-level homes.

Thank you Brandon Turner for highlighting this value add technique in his podcasts.

I need a real estate agent that can see a place, understand the work it needs, highlight issues and perks, share cost estimates, ideally even understand a bit about zoning (at least who to speak to etc.).

A big selling point in the letter, highlighted no less, was that their owners loved them because they have 97% occupancy and they invite me to move my management and buy from them.I re-read the email advertising for rental agents to rent their 200 vacancies. 

There is an option for the GIS map to highlight those properties which are tax delinquent.

Does anyone have experience with this calculator, that may be able to highlight some key metrics and explain why they are important?
