@Connor Hibbs Both my property and I meet all of those qualifications.

If not Google them and you can find all of the information there.

I know I could drive all over the place and price shop and save money, buy my free time is worth more than the savings- most of the time. 

I haven't purchased any companies before so any and all advice on the process would be appreciated.

For example we have one rental that has 3x in value and day 1 it was around negative $200 cash flow, today it is +300 cash flow but also have a huge equity and the tenant has also paid all the principal on this property. 

Most agents will do what "you" feel is best in your interests while working to give you all the necessary details and options to make the best decision. 

These are all great options, I’m sure some may better support beginners like myself while others should be considered after more experience. 

I recommend you add a little more detail to this post.. what kind of property etc etc.I have done probably more than 12 to 15 deals in south side all 2 to 4 flats.. at first they all sold to investors the last 3 or 4 sold to owner occ. 

The all-in price should be right around $12 - $15 / sq yd, which will include the carpet, padding, all misc materials and install.

Risk assessment is a critical component of the underwriting process.
