I can recommend looking at deals in different ways, finding different ways to find deals, and put the work into finding the deals, and build the right relationships.I have bought 5 properties in the last 12 months and they all worked.I have been using different strategies to get the deal to work.

Hello, I'm a relatively new real estate agent and one of my primary reasons for getting my real estate license was to leverage it for real estate investing in my area, which is Northern Virginia.Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations for investor-friendly brokerages where I could potentially hang my license and be an active real estate investor.One caveat, is that, I am a part-time real estate agent/part-time real estate investor.Any insights from the members would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend that even if you combine lists, you still have a way to know where each contact came from originally for more effective marketing and targeted messaging.
