I just launched an app that helps real estate investors find homes in their area.

I was doing a lot of legwork and still paying RE agent for the transactions up until got my own license.pros: no commissions in your transactionseasier qualification as real estate professional to offset high W2 of spousecan get access to any house/ easy logisticsmore control in the transactionMLS access with all the information on tip of your fingers, you can move fast with the deallicense knowledge helps to make better decisions and gives broader understanding of the industrycan legally do property management for others, wholesale (many states now making outlaw to do it without license)cons:need to take an exam (it needs preparation and to be good not just barely pass you need to study)fees you pay along the way (MLS, brokerage(I signed with investor-focused on and have a monthly fee and a transaction rate))self-management including taxes and feesneed to relicense + paid education Don't forget the biggest con.

eg if you buy cheap flooring at Home Depot yourself, and have a handyman put it in, it will be less than if you have a GC do everything.do you have a network? 

We also like to sit down with the current manager and go through everything related to how they are running the park (collecting rent, problem tenants, sales of homes, marketing efforts, recurring maintenance items, problem areas in the park infrastructure, etc)Compliance - this includes everything related to city, county, and state compliance to continue to run the property as a park.

I currently have 1 STR and am looking to expand my portfolio into multifamily and single family homes.

Purchase price: $750,000 Cash invested: $26,250 I helped my clients find and purchase a fixer duplex to serve as their starter home.

Today, we secured contracts for two of our new construction homes in Palm Bay, FL.

I’m looking to build my first spec home but I’m having trouble finding a lender.

They intend to come home to "Mom and Dad's" old house, eventually, but it is not top of mind.

You can check out the application I built that helps investors, specifically real estate investors find homes in their area.
