I have had a number of clients that have used both FASS and REDS.

They are very difficult to deal with.

I would definitely recommend for you to get your license if your debating it, it’s not a difficult course and it can be done after work.The base knowledge you get from taking the course is really valuable.I took courses after work at a Coldwell Banker branch ( Oak Brooke) and the teacher was amazing.They offer very flexible hours- I personally took the night class ( 6-10 pm) 4 days a week, for a total of 90 hrs.

I read that NH has a rather tight rental market, but I certainly don't have a clue yet how find properties that would make a good buy-and-hold deal, it seems difficult...

It was definitely difficult i have to be honest.

(Codes, egress, bricks being difficult to match, permits, the whole nine)On a more helpful note, have you considered building a kitchen island if counter space is at a premium?

I'm an independent agent I currently work with over 75 carriers to help my clients protect themselves from financial losses. 

This network allows me to connect people with inventory and opportunities that can be difficult to find, I am looking to share them here! 

I lean towards listing properties but have buyer clients as well.

It's been difficult.
