Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Where ever you get leads on agents ask questions about how how they like to communicate, what their time availability is for you, why they want to help you, and how they will be valuable to you in your journey in achieving your goals.  

If you haven't connected with an investor and real estate professional in the Tampa Bay area yet, I highly recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

While professionals can get costly -- especially starting out -- it only takes one person getting upset to derail everything you worked had to build.

Wow, that looks like it would bring you on some very unique journey.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Do you have to be a “real estate professional” to qualify? 

Jared (laughing) ... ummm, are you really on here asking for a "Professional Referral" for a tradesman, after stating that you are probably just going to hire a "handyman" to get it done because it will be cheaper!?!?!?!?
