Welcome @David Houghtaling to bigger pockets!!!

However, nobody has THREE legitimate service animals.

I am also looking forward to meeting other Bigger Pockets members so we can share information and help each other to continue our growth in Real Estate.

Is it generally understood that in-order to get a pocket listing from a *commercial* multi-family broker, you will have that same broker represent both sides of the transaction (i.e. there is no additional "buying agent" involved?)

I have three points that I would share.1) Make sure that you research the areas that you are going to invest in thoroughly.

I would scan the bigger pocket for keywords in your area and understand the people working in your area.  

One thing I love about bigger pockets, is that we can network with people that are on his level.  

Say something like "We need three things from a tenant.  

I guess I started more motivated as I began listening to bigger pockets and audiobooks this last spring.

So although they quoted me 90% of purchase/rehab, they only do 75% of those ARV, so I come out of pocket for the difference in those scenarios.
