I am planning to visit the cities next week so if there are any meetups please let me know, would like to connect with investor friendly agents, investors, property managers and anyone who is active in the above mentioned real estate markets.Thank you and looking forward to connecting! 

Through a wholesaler, direct to seller's agent How did you finance this deal?

What does it take as an insurance agent to become a referable partner with loan officers?

The agent stated "I did include some coverage for vandalism/burglary which are optional, however, just want to make sure you are covered in the event of a loss." 

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

I recommend finding an investor focused agent out there that has experience with MTRs.

Rather than charging a fixed interest rate, I'm looking for someone willing to take 50 percent of the profit once the property is sold.As a Muslim, I adhere to principles that prohibit the use of interest.

I'm an agent in the area so let me know if you need help. 

Some agents have access to off market properties. #2 Sometimes it's an elderly person who has a lot of equity and who's taken care of the property but they want to sell without putting in upgrades (quartz countertops, new kitchen and bath).

I suggest going to the Moorhead Meetups in Austin, There are a ton of BiggerPockets investors, and they are hosted by @Jordan Moorhead, who is an investor-friendly agent in the Austin market.
