Hey all,I read a more general post to this question and maybe there are even more out there but I am wondering as a first time investor in a rental property, how much (maybe percent?)

Was wondering if anyone had any insight on this.

I was wondering how could I go about finding good contractors, agents and lenders who would be willing to work with someone new?

I encounter many whose clients I feel sorry for, and some who make me wonder how they find their way home at night.Like any service-based business, a very small percentage of agents truly excel at what they do.

I wonder if those folks would pay even a bit more, depending on the location.

Wonderful for mire knowledge and being in the know.

I received this from a local broker and was wondering if you could help me work the numbers.

I'm wondering what peoples experiences or recommendations are?

You have the wonderful benefit of having lived there, so that is huge. 

I find distress houses in a high end community...Naples, Fl and wonder if there are anyone of you that buy/flip these houses in the upper price range.Some friends feel that the prices for these distress houses are way to high.
