You know, that stuff they aren't making any more of.THAT, my friend is REAL.

Can anyone recommend an investor friendly real estate agent that covers the Brantford ON community? 

I am interested in finding SFHs and I also have a friend who is trying to unload a multifamily property in not so good shape. 

I have a friend of friend that is a pretty active flipper in KC that I will be connecting with but I wanted a broader perspective on KC too.

Also, duplexes from $225000 and under renting out for $1200 each side per month Let me know if you have any questions regarding the Spokane market or if you are on the hunt for an investor friendly real estate broker.

Gave me practical experience finding deals (and the tools & techniques involved), working with realtors, lawyers and banks, appraisals, inspections, insurance, property taxes, utilities, closings, HUD statements, etc.Owning a home gave me more practical experience in basic to moderate home repair, dealing with contractors for more complicated issues, capital improvements, insurance claims, "neighbor relations", and many more important aspects involved with owning property.But in addition to buying and owning my own home, I'll say what was equally important to giving me confidence to get started was having a few friends who were already doing what I wanted to do.
