I'd love to make as many connections as I can, so I can hit the ground running when I get out of college.

How can one, who has only rudimentary knowledge in real estate without any boots on ground experience (read a few books), effectively choose a real estate agent?

By the way, I build houses from the ground up, some to sell, some to rent.

Looking to connect with brokers/ home inspectors in the San Antonio area that can help and be boots on the ground as I am out of state.Thanks!

We have full-time boots on the ground in each market, and have a team centralized at our HQ in Texas as well.If you're interested in speaking with some of our current clients, I'm happy to make an introduction.We've historically worked with Aleka in several capacities (as a client of her's while she was with Acorn and Oak and then as our BIC) and our experience with her was always great.Thanks!

We had a claim denied once on a vacant SFR REO that we were selling, which was burnt to the ground by a squatter as well (or that's what it appeared).

Assuming the property is in the Denver area, the issue is likely drainage and ground water.

This comment is a shame, because the vast majority of our content discussed long term success in real estate grounded in fundamentals.

I have a long history in real estate first being licensed in 2005, then went into financing, back to real estate all while owning my own hospitality business for over 12 years as a single mom of two, building it from the ground up.

I want to learn from and network with folks who are on the ground as I know a team is crucial to our out-of-state investing plans.
