I also recommend reading books, listening to RE podcasts, and most importantly: connecting with people who are doing what you want to do! 

Is there a book I can read or a podcast I can listen to?

You need to make ABSOLUTELY sure they are happy.To do that, you need to listen to their needs, their problem the reason for selling.

I’ll give it a listen.      

@Neil Anthony, if you want to learn the MF space, I think investing as an LP in 2-3 syndication deals is an excellent start, especially if you are investing out of state and, assuming you have a full-time job.That is how I started.You can learn how sponsors evaluate and offer deals, listen to other investors ask questions of the sponsors, and, IMO, you can attend in-person events where you can meet other investors and sponsors and ask all the questions you want as well as hear investment stories of all kinds.Once you get through some time immersing yourself in the MF investment world, you will have a better idea of whether you want to be an active or passive investor.  

I have been doing a lot of research, reading, you-tubing, pod cast listening, and browsing the BP forums. 

I do want the property, but knowing when to listen to people who know more than you is a sure way to get ahead.

Yellow note pad- listen to how they ask questions and provide exact answers.

Your agent is not listening or negotiating.
