The contracto I used needed baby sitting and the attention to detail was lacking so half way through the reno I was more particular and communicated my expectations clearly and ofter Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Like 'Find an agent', is there a PM finder on BP?

Hi BiggerPockets community,My name is Borys Pawlowski, and I am a licensed real estate agent in Illinois.

The lower DP on an investment loan will be for someone experienced.

Great thing about Bigger Pockets is you can network and find in any state a great property, seasoned agent, Banker for financing, Wholesaler, GC, handyman/property maintenance to make it all happen.

You may want to consult with an insurance agent to understand the impact on liability coverage.

A Comprehensive Guide to Homebuying, it's essential to be thorough and methodical to ensure you're making an informed decision but draw boundaries, it's okay to open built-in closets and kitchen cabinets to assess the property, However, respect the seller's privacy by not invading their personal space, such as medicine cabinets, storage boxes, or clothing drawers,Interior:Architectural style.Bedroom and bathroom count, size, and location.Closet and storage space.Number of floors.Sightlines and general floorplan.Appliance age and condition.Light switches and socket count.Plumbing and water pressure.Natural light and views.Noise levels.Stairway width and type.Porches and decks.Garage and parking capacity.Proximity to neighboring homes.Remodeling opportunities.Exterior:Roof and siding condition.Landscaping and outdoor maintenance needs.Additional Considerations:Take notes and photos during the tour.Use your five senses to assess the home's condition.Ask your real estate agent questions about the home's features, flaws, and market conditions.Red Flags:Overly scented rooms.Water stains and damage.Lack of maintenance.Foundation issues.Sagging ceiling.Fresh paint that may be covering up issues.Final Tips:Be prepared to make multiple offers before finding the right home at the right price.Stick to your budget when making an offer.Don't overlook potential red flags just because you love a home.

This is a great place to share thoughts, ask questions and learn from the experienced investors throughout the BP community.For new PRO members, I recommend 2 things:1.

This is VERY hard to do for someone that isn't a knowledgeable agent with an eye for detail.
