They have local knowledge about certain areas that I currently lack.

William, to my knowledge, you'd need to go to a lender that may provide an insured loan, I don't believe you can go directly to an insurer and get a policy of some kind and take that to a lender.Usually, commercial lenders only require it when a deal is over 80% LTV and on much bigger projects like a mall or large hotel, maybe 300 apartments.Since there are different types of coverage the underwriting will be different, specific to the deal.

To my knowledge, they will not renegotiate based on inspection and if you are an investor you will loss your earnest money if you do not close.

But I'm open to learning other methods, too: flipping & wholesales, short sales, etc.I look forward to learning from all of you and then hopefully putting that knowledge to work.

That way you have more knowledge.2.

A broker/ agent needs to increase their worth through knowledge, connections, and inventory.

I'm open to partnering in co-wholesaling situation as well.I'm excited to connect with all the knowledgeable folks on this site.

So, check out tenants closely and markets closer.I suggest you assume nothing, hope for the best and rely only on what you can verify.To my knowledge, seems the two areas you have mentioned haven't been areas of any real issue, prices and markets are rather stable. :)

I understand about bringing value and with my extensive knowledge of investing in the financial markets, I think I could help a savvy investor and offer a lot of information, but I feel like because of my young age and inexperience I will be highly doubted and criticized.

Ive been really interested in learning more about REAL ESTATE for about 3 years now but with all the clutterness i had, i never had the time to expand my knowledge.
