I recently passed my state real estate licensing exam and am at the stage where I need to find a broker.

Being in the early stage of our business I wanted properties that only needed light remodeling.

Haven’t done an inspection yet this is very early stages as I’ve just driven by the property and researched the area and comps. 

I understand we'll have to pay the deposit+ appraisal+ staging fees and possibly other costs.Thank you in advance!! 

Here is my advise, which, by the way I give to myself as well....Always have a criteria and only buy when that criteria is met, even if it means waiting for 3-5 years....Dont buy just because everyone else is buying....For me, at this stage in my investment, it is cash flow positive from day 1 after 20% down.....

Hello All,Let me set the stage for the best possible help. 

In my opinion, at this stage of the game, you should be focusing on learning every single day while working on putting yourself in a strong financial position to buy real estate.

@Jennifer Bui I will suggest you weigh the pros and cons of using your uncle as a Realtor on this transaction.House buying has a lot of moving piece and you really need a local realtor to advocate for you especially with new constructions where builders are rushing every stage of the construction in order to start on the next lot.

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

I have one rental in the rehab stage, and my primary house that I'm wanting to make a rental in a few months.
