I'm hoping someone can clarify these two questions for me regarding PA Senate Bill 1173  - which requires wholesalers to have a real estate salesperson license beginning in 2025 - https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/li/uconsCheck.cfm... 

I'm open to connecting with real-estate agents as well!

I recommend using an experienced agent to help you buy especially off-market deals to help avoid costly mistakes.  

Check the Facebook group "Quad Cities Real Estate Investors" I can do some more research and interview some if you'd like a broker that plays in the space all day.  

The building has been on the market almost a year and is probably still a bit 'overpriced', although I have yet to do a comp deep-dive with my agent (soon!).

Hi everyone,I currently own a few rental properties, but I’m looking to transition into real estate syndications.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Most “Gurus”, authors, advisors and experienced real estate investors preach obtaining seller “carry back” financing for property buyers in order to (1) obtain financing when they don’t qualify for a 3rd party loan (2) obtain financing when the property doesn’t qualify for financing and or (3) extend the “buying power” of their capital contribution (down payment) to purchase a larger more expensive property by having the seller provide a subordinated mortgage loan.That’s all and good, but why should the seller agree to finance the purchase of his property, instead of getting CASH for his equity?

Here's some guidance on buying your first investment property in Southern California or Columbus, Ohio:Down payment:For investment properties, lenders typically require 15-30% down payment on your first investment15% down is possible with excellent credit (700+ score)20-25% down is more common, especially for multi-unit propertiesSection 8 considerations:Pros:Guaranteed portion of rent from governmentPotential for longer-term tenantsMay be easier to fill vacancies in some areasCons:More paperwork and inspections requiredRent amounts set by local housing authorityPotential property damage concernsOther tips:Research local markets carefully - price trends, rental rates, etc.Factor in all costs - taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacanciesConsider starting with a single-family home or small multi-unitBuild a team - real estate agent, property manager, contractorsHave cash reserves beyond just the down paymentUnderstand landlord-tenant laws in your chosen locationI'd recommend talking to local real estate agents in both areas to get more specific market insights.

@William Pichardo I read and like this real estate quote, "Every BRRRR should be a good flip, and every flip should be good BRRRR."
