Everyone is an investor but they lack the tenacity and finesse to take control of the conversation and get the attention of the seller so that you stick out, are someone they can trust and can create a win/ win solution for their problem. oh and always be in the constant state of “ getting back with the seller “ as though you have talked to them prior to this call.

Please explain your answer, the goal is to create 100k into 500k the fastest way possible

Not sure how much down he needs or wants for his move goal. 

You don't owe the tenants agent a thing unless it was something agreed to prior to lease signing.

Our goal is to help you find desirable properties that rent above median rates at a discount price that will cash flow while appreciating and drawing in good tenants who take care of the property while paying the overhead and paying down the debt service.As far as technology goes, there is tons of information available to us as investors.

I think it all depends on what the individual's goals are in the end though. 

@Jacob D AdamczakThere is no one right answer and a lot of other factors beyond just the simple one at hand come into play - age, other savings, goals, time you expect to be with this employer, etc.That company match paired with the tax deduction you get on your own contribution are essentially free and immediate return on investment. 

@Amy YarnallWhat's your end goal?

@Devin OtwayYou don't need to officially communicate anything.Just work with the person that is in sync with your goals and how you wish to operate.As long as you are communicating and things are progressing, there's no real need to say anything to other agents.If they have something of interest, they'll let you know.

My goal to purchase a duplex, rent out one unit and live in the other.
