@Jonathan RobertsWelcome - There's quite an active group from cheyenne here.

May I ask if you have been actively practicing?

There aren't many investment vehicles in a TSP aside from the funds the few funds they have.Would it be possible or even legal (I know, seek professional legal advice yada yada) to continue contributing 5% (or more) into my TSP to take advantage of the "free money" being matched by the government and then roll the balance every year into a tax deferred SD-IRA so I can invest that money freely? 

@Seth Teel, broker/owner of Somos Real is a top contributor here on BP and very active investor here in San Antonio. 

Using a buying agent for large purchases isnt normal practice since the listing firms are seeking dual agency and wont co-op commissions.  

To obtain financing it can't be larger than 25% of the total community square footage. 10% of the budget to go towards reservesNo active or pending litigation (HOAs like to go after the developer for construction defects)No assessments (ask for the last 12 months of board minutes in your offer.

In my opinion, the best use of your time would be talking with investor-friendly agents and commercial brokers, explaining your criteria and actively following up with them.

So if you can intercept hospital housing staff actIvIty that may be helpful

I suggest read and watch as many podcasts as you can until you feel like they're being redundant and then seek out opportunities to invest.

Hi all,        I've been actively looking for real estate agents and met several of them and seems like they're not the one's that I can build a long term relationship with because they haven't worked with too many investors or builders.
