Hi Angelica, I would look for a local meetup - there is a meetup section under "build your team" at the top of this site.

As all these problems arise again, it will likely swing back to sellers understanding that it’s going to cost them just as much for the firm to represent them in the event of an unrepresented buyer as it would if they just paid a buyer agent fee, but they’re more protected from future litigation if the buyer has their own representation vs claiming they were misled by a seller or seller’s agent.

@Darnell Fenderson It's good to see that you are local.

I purchased the home from an auction.Talk to a local real estate attorney to go over options (eviction, cash for keys, etc) 

Reach out to your local land use planning and/or zoning department.

This is a "hire someone" but getting someone to look at it before we need to put in an offer is tough in the local market and the contractor we usually use is unavailable do to family issues for the next two weeks.  2) Will it matter which direction the new stairs would run up the second floor in regards to the direction the joists run? 

This includes increasing your income through a better job, and attending local real estate investment groups where you will circulate with other like-minded individuals.  

So wish me luck, and any tips would be appreciated haha.I am also planning on going to the OKCREIA meeting next month to try and meet some local investors.If anyone around OKC would like to connect hit me up.   

There are a lot of things to consider, I'm unsure if this is normal for this time of year - other experiences and insight from local investors would be greatly appreciated.  

Is it like that is their address for the university to send mail or are they having events there?
