My immediate goal is to buy my first rental property this year, get my feet wet with wholesaling one property in the next six months, and better understand the market.If there are any meets up or other networking events in the Charlotte area I’d greatly appreciate knowing about them.Best,Elliot Criss

Given my limited experience and understanding in this field, it's challenging for me to judge whether a real estate agent is suitable for my investment purposes.

Some kids don't understand what a contract is and it really helps to reach out to their guarantor in situations like this.

If you’re looking at San Pedro or Ambergris Caye I would make sure you understand water, sewer and golf carts infrastructure and permitting.  

I'm looking for a lender to work with to better understand my purchasing power.

The upstairs tenant gets very mad about this, and I can understand that, as he works first shift, 12-hour days, and is being woken up in the middle of the night by the noise.

I understand that many agents think wholesaling fees are too high. however, I disagree.

First step would be to read as many books or listen to as many podcasts as you can to understand both the buying process and how to identify a property as a good deal or not.

It's a great way to get started IMO.But understand, at least in the market I operate in, there is no such thing as being "section 8 approved" before you have a tenant.You need to find a tenant, sign a lease, and only THEN schedule a S8 inspection.

This includes assessing the cost of necessary renovations and understanding the property's market value after improvements.
