I spend hours house hunting, going to open houses, looking at comps, and demos just for fun -- so I think naturally becoming a Realtor would be in the best interest for me?

They are going off the tax forms (T1 and T776).

for me its usually depending upon the situation.......u kinda got to feel them out and see if theres an underlying issue at hand....but yea never more than 3 business days......but you can tell whos stalling. 

If I, as a wholesaler, were to ask a real estate agent to generate a comparable sales statement for me, what's in it for them?

There is likly local board forms that have been proven in hundreds of sImIlar transactions.

As for me, I listened and asked have you been preapproved? 

Their priorities, focus, and models of investing  might match up better with you.I loved this article today (yeah it's click bait and fluffy as all get out but it demonstrates for me the true power of real estate investing over the years) -   https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kushner-paid-no-federal-income-tax-for-years-documents-suggest/ar-BBOkaOq?

@Alexandra Lowry Thanks for your response and putting in perspective for me, we are for sure going to use the VA loan overall.

I mentioned these 3 as I have not decided which is best for me yet.

However when my agent contacted the owner for a viewing the owner says that he has two of the listed triplex for sale and that he wants to sell them together. 150k each and they are probably worth 175k each.So if this property works out it could be a great deal for me so my mind starts working on how i could buy them both.
