Did it work out?

This also makes it hard to compare apples to apples when shopping around or comparing multiple markets.If you're a sophisticated investor with lots of real estate experience than "going it alone" may work out for you. 

Walk by the property frequently and you may get lucky catch the owners or contractors there ... basically, good, old fashioned detective work, which could actually be fun and highly educational for future acquisition skills even if this one doesn't work out for you (most don't, but if you keep trying then some do). 

Again, not sure exactly how that would all work out, I'm hoping some of the more experienced brains here can shed some light on the best way to go about this.Thanks in advance for any insight!

If this doesn't work out, then on to the next one. 

I have put in offers on properties that I later felt grateful did not work out for one reason or another (usually because they are deemed too low by the seller) BUT I am super glad for the education I am gaining by analyzing the numbers and the properties themselves.Congratulations on finding and snagging the second deal, and best of luck going forward!

I'm sure there are groups/teams that work out different structures for a buyer agent or showing assistant on the deal.

@Nicholas W. how did things work out with smart move?

Furthermore, I could work out a sweet deal with you on managing the property and helping you maximize your cash flow in it.

The more deals you do that work out and give an investor a good return the better your track record becomes and the easier it is to sell other investors on the idea.
