Let me know if you make progress on that Hemet property.thanks,Matt

The podcasts and blogs will provide more details, but I would humbly suggest re-evaluating that goal.Best of luck!

I'm a newly minted agent myself and the feeling is a mix of accomplishment and anxiety as I start to implement a lead generation model.I would suggest interviewing multiple brokerages and keep in mind that you are the one evaluating the agency every bit as much as they are evaluating you (read: don't approach it as a job interview where the focus is on selling yourself to an employer).Also, if you're like me, my goal is to become an investor and not just a career agent, so the resources the brokerage can provide you in terms of education, training, mentorship, etc. are more important than a large commission split.

I plan to evaluate the value of the home, the rental market, and my experience in real estate at that time to determine whether to sell or to hold as a rental.

I'm evaluating a potential deal in San Diego and the property has a ~600 sqft addition to the house which the listing agent says may not be permitted; the agent was of no further help, didn't even offer to find out for me.The construction of the addition itself looks good - it has insulated walls, electrical outlets every 6 feet, minimum 7' height, etc...

Here's how the developer buying it from you would evaluate it:Determine the highest and best use.

I do have Biggerpockets to thank for progress so far.I hired a general contractor, thanks to a referral from a BP member and I met with another seasoned investor on BP who gave me some pointers and encouragement.The general contractor, seems very committed to getting the units occupied as soon as possible.

I would like to evaluate the deal from a buy and hold perspective.Attached 3/2/1 vacant townhouse built in 1980.

Quick tip: When we evaluate a vacant lot, we look for curbs, manholes, and driveways.
