There are different forms of buyer agency agreement , including a non exclusive agreement in which you can work with more than one agent at a time , this is probably best for the investor.

Hello Yishi,I deal with 1st position mortgages on New Construction, I would say that investor capital can be all over the place in terms of rates. 

I also try my best to avoid working with them at all though lol

And ends up being the best thing to do!!!

Hi Ambrea,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.

Each choice has its own set of risks and benefits, so it's critical to consider your financial status, investing goals, and Cleveland market opportunities before deciding on the best strategy.Good luck!

5) Given your cash and equity, I recommend just using the capital you have at a 75-80 LTV on future purchases, you can get yourself into about another $800k of real estate at extremely good rates.

Easy and quick close is the best!

Best,Saed
