If you are considering this approach, I suggest you buy an A-class property in a landlord friendly city and get a PM.

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!

The best buyers agents provide insight to the market, negotiate to get a better deal, provides clarity to the transaction, steadies the nerves of buyers (first time home buyers for example), identifies problems with the property, introduces a whole cast of players to get the deal done etc.

No realtor is just going to run comps for you unless they are a good friend of yours, and even then, they usually will run them incorrectly.

Mind if I DM you/add you as a friend?

My wife's friend's husband is a handyman who has a lot of experience.

 I can't count how many times my friends have called to ask what to do about their leaky ice dispenser.

Quote from @Nathan Frost: Hi, I have friends saying there are lenders that do 5% down. 

These guy is talking a lot about how great the city in his targeted investment but very little time going deep dive into his Financial.Our friend Grocapitus is targeting the naivest tech-background rich folks that's rich in equity but poor in financial analysis capacity (and bit arrogant too sometimes because they think because they rich due to tech so everything else was easy).Our friend here  likes to cherrypick market stats that's irrelevant for his investment at his deck.

There are much more landlord friendly towns in New Jersey.
