When I first got started, my agent was my mentor.

Yes, it seems that being an agent really has its advantages.  

I have had three calls from three different agents of ALE. looks like I’m negotiating for an 8 mo lease. 4 more months on month to month option to extend.

As an active investor and agent in New York and New Jersey - let me say, I've "seen this movie" before. 2001 - 9/11 - New York is dead2008 - Global Financial Crisis - New York is dead2020 - COVID - New York is deadWell, turns out New York came back each and every time.

Sounds like you're working with an agent, no worries, happy to still advise. 

Sense Financial who @Brett Synicky represents is a plan provider and very reputable.  

@Peyton LaBarbera you're not going to find or get a lot of info on SFR properties.For apartment buildings, owner's agent will typically provide a glossed up Pro Forma.

Thanks @Jonathan Klemm hello @Caroline KnightYes with @Andrew Dorazio  we are team of Army veteran agents helping Military client to invest in Chicago.    

You'll get courted by agents, lenders, and course sellers.... but you can also learn a lot and make good connections.

Also, any connections with any Agents/Investors down there would be fantastic!
