I'm new to the game and have been absorbing multiple books/webinars/podcasts, but I haven't seen anything yet about how to pick a place to invest in. 

It would be one thing If i were just starting, but I just think at this stage of the game that commission has way higher value as a bargaining chip on an offer (the one thing I know I can do without help) than any additional realtor services that would accompany it.

Being a newer agent I need someone to learn the ropes from and someone that can help me build a solid game plan to get out of my full time job and into real estate full time.

Until you build a track record with a private lender they will surely want you to have some skin in the game so there's that side of things you have to resolve with them.

Rehab work was fast and thorough and the communication throughout the process was excellent...regular picture updates and videos, etc.
