Cold calling, mailers, signs, google/Facebook, RE meetups, RE agents are all ways a whole sales would find deals

Hey Brittany, I have dabbled into some investing and am a real estate agent in MA.

I have been an investor agent in Oceanside for a while now.

I have used Appfolio as a leasing agent to put properties up for lease, screen tenants, and rent them out.

It's worth comparing terms between your current lender and others to see who offers the best deal in terms of rates and fees.Purchasing a Property: Whether you purchase through regular listings, an agent, or an auction depends on your risk tolerance and expertise.

I work with Steadily as an independent insurance agent and haven't had issues.Did you e-sign your initial application?  

I’m a 41-year-old father of six who loves the Lord and is driven by a desire to build a better future for my family through real estate.I own a small tile installation business, am a certified insurance agent, and am currently in the process of obtaining my real estate license.

Not all agents can do that.

Been looking into Birmingham and talking to agents.

Mine was also out of state, in a town I’d never visited, and I relied heavily on videos from my agent.This sounds like a tough first deal, but it seems like you have some capital on the side, which will be useful as you face the upcoming challenges and learn from those expensive early mistakes.Regarding the subject of this post, “help me adjust my expectations,” I’d recommend assuming that; repairs will cost twice as much as you estimate, maintenance and vacancy rates will likely double from your initial projections, there’s a very real chance you may lose money on this deal.That said, there are ways to mitigate these risks by:- Keep asking questions here on BP and connecting with local experts- Stay proactive and communicative with your agent and property manager.And remember “Inspect what you expect.”Im not trying to discourage you but to help reset your expectations.
