Back in 2019, we faced a challenging situation that fundamentally changed the way we handle our real estate transactions.

Being 24 years old with no real estate background, I would like to share with you my top 3 secrets that has led me to be very successful these past couple of years. 1.

And then there’s the real estate which you could purchase or lease to save in cash. 

I try to have as much as possible EMD (not standard EMD requiring a signature from the buyer but non-refundable or as a security deposit) from the end-buyer.  

My question is, does this sound like a good plan to start off our real estate investment journey with as little debt as possible?

Usually only professional PM or Real estate agent has the average day on market data. 

I currently live in and operate 1 STR in the area and as a real estate agent I've helped people buy lots of STR properties from Perdido Key to Panama City Beach.1) The STR market here is congested and there is a lot of competition. 

@Susie Lowe it is difficult to find real opportunities unless you have boots on the ground or a close relationship with a commercial broker or wholesaler.

Do I have to return his security deposit?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
