Next steps in this scenario: 1) Asking the agent if the landowner specifically stated to reject offers below a certain dollar amount. 2) If the agent doesn't respond or responds with a no, notifying them of the ethics violation. 3) Notifying the brokerage of the ethics violation. 4) Completing the form for the violation with the local real estate governing board. 5) Submitting your offer directly to their client, and bypassing the agent--check local laws on this one, as well as the do not call registry, before doing so.

I'm not sure if any local lenders will consider the property value once the ADU is complete when reviewing my loan application.

Great to see another Moscow local on here.

When looking for short term rentals be sure to check local ordinances and restrictions.

@Darrin Kelsey I would check your local meetup groups, but if you can't find one in your area reach out.Good Investing...

Hey Yiftach - I'm local to the area and could give you a few names of agents that work with investors.

It's either drive for dollars, send letters, network with neighbors, get hyper local, or spend more on marketing and blanket entire neighborhoods.

There are a few local meetups in the area, I would recommend going to some.

Make sure to connect with local lenders and brokers as it's beneficial for achieving your real estate goals.

All I can say is that there are memberships that cost tens of thousands of dollars.What I tell people is find a local investor and take them to  a nice lunch for 30 bucks and see if it goes well. 30 bucks no harm no foul. 25,000 to a membership not working out possibly is a huge deal for many.
