Ask the realtor for the past 2-3 years of operational finances  ... s/he will either try to intimidate you away from wanting/needing them - in which case, walk away - or will provide you with a set of rosy, half-fabricated numbers {accept these with scepticism ... if you get in the territory of a deal, you will ask for corroborating information from his/her accountant or tax returns}.Once you have the financial data, take a run at analysing it, then bring it here for folks to review and assist you with coaxing the {likely} truth from the numbers.

I'm a newbie, but If I can be of some assistance let me know.

Hello allI am new in Real Estate investing business. Specially in short sale. I am currently working with some realtors who are daily emailing me properties out of the MLS based on certain filters I have recommended. ...

@Jay Hinrichs has worn a white shirt with a red cross on his back and to be honest so have I many times assisting unsuspecting Aussie investors that got screwed by turnkey sharks.I have been in the US for 2 years now and have seen every trick in the book to swindle or hide numbers in your favor.

I would like to rent shared office space where I can hang my business and professional licenses that also offers a shared assistant that will provide admin tasks like answering my phone, accepting my mail, preparing written correspondence and etc.

If your in the Jacksonville FL area you should go to their local REIA and meet others who can assist you. 

At the beginning of this year I became the assistant to a very established realtor who intoduced me to the world of Investor owned properties.

Great group here so any questions dont hesitate to ask for assistance.

I decided to go into rehabbing homes because that fits more my style plus I like the challenge of taking an ugly house and making it better for everyone involvedI want to tell you that I have known a Real Estate agent and he is like a faraway friend, (you know a friend of a friends but he's also your friend but not close) So anyway, to my surprise he has been finding homes and assisting some rehabbers in my neck of the woods.

The owner, or the owner’s agent, will provide thepayment history and credit references for the lessees in writing to assist in securing amortgage for the purchase of the property.5.
