I'm located in the SF Bay Area in San Jose, so if there's anyone I can buy a coffee in exchange for some of your time, I'd be more than happy to connect.Lastly, I don't think I'll be ready to start seriously looking for a first investment for a few months, so the question is, when is the right time to start talking to people like real estate agents, brokers, lenders etc.?

Hi I am an agent.

My best friend is an agent out in LA, I can connect him with you too. 

Agent, lead generation2.

Your inspector better clean up the insulation they leave on the ground though.

Oddly enough, I actually made an offer 48 hours after the property hit the market and the best I can gather from their agent is that since they own the property outright, they feel that by offering bond for deed they can get their full asking price.

I'm Vadim, your friendly real estate investment agent out of Kansas City.

Think at things like the demand for rentals, the possibility of property appreciation, and the property's closeness to services and job locations.Work with a Real Estate Agent: Assist a nearby real estate representative who focuses on investment homes and is cognizant of your financial objectives.

I am a real estate agent that has access to the MLS, but I've seen through my research that the best deals are the ones off-market.

If you are working with an agent then they should be able to better help you and if not I'm an agent who could help with specifics.
