Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hey Alex I can send you some offers that were drawn up and sent to me by buyers without an agent.

Obviously, this can impact your overall cash flow. 6) it’s important to find an agent that knows the area well and understands how to work with an investor, as the process is very different than buying a primary residence. these are all things to consider, and there is going to be a learning curve associated with the process.

I need ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY who invests, rehabs, and property manages in Birmingham to recommend contractors, agents, management companies, real estate attornies, etc that I could use.

It can get a little confusing when we have escrow, our company, title, the listing agent, lender, etc going back and forth on multiple subjects centered on one property; all over emails. 

-find an investor friendly agent and tour 50-100 properties. 

Listing brokers effectively become dual agents be default and many investors or buyers (especially at the entry level) will effectively go unrepresented.

I am not a broker or an agent and this is my first house so I'm a little nervous and very anal about protecting myself and the owner. 

I am a residential agent however, my daughter is the RE Dev Mgr for a large C-store company here.

Your core 4 consist of a real estate agent(deal finder), property manager, contractor, and lender.
