Theoretically there can be an infinite number of parties involved, but it's difficult enough putting together a deal with 2 parties.

In the Commercial space, all parties are deemed sophisticated enough to look out after their own interests. 

They'll want to see your financial situation, but also look at you as a professional. 

There are certainly risks to both parties but from your perspective it seems like it is a try before you buy type situation.

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

You learn to be professional and not laugh early on, when you're working with brand new real estate agents who refer 'clients' to you who have no income, no credit, and no savings, but are dead serious that they want to buy a $1.5m house in San Jose oh and by the way they also want the lowest interest rate they can find advertised on the shadiest corner of the internet. 

I found a third party that will install and maintain washer dryers in my laundry room. 

I’ve posted about this many times - I prefer the too-big house method where I buy in a high-job-density area a 4-6 bedroom house with 2-3 bathrooms and I rent out spare rooms to professionals (1 person per room).

I'm a professional "data analyst" for heaven's sake!

Hello BP Members,I am interested in obtaining my Virginia Real Estate Salesperson license and I wanted to found out if any existing real estate professionals can please recommend any good online and/or classroom-style courses?
