This is my latest rehab that is in the refinance stage of BRRRR.

(Some agents my call this a "net Listing", it is not since you are representing yourself).Always get right of possession or right to show if it is occupiedRight of signage - you want to be able to put a sign on the buildingRight to list the buildingAlways build in a seller financing clauseItems you can give up - these are items you can give up when negotiating -- Settlement cost to be split, contingent on building inspection (what do you care - if you are really in for a discount deal, subject to assumption or subject to mortgage.Some clauses leaves the door open to "Second Stage Negotiation" do it right and you can renegotiate the price to your favor.

If your property is staged well it would be really easy to have that conversation with them and have them share the listing. 

Whole thing seemed very staged to me so I told the seller I was not closing until the tenant was out and I could see for myself.

Speaking of referrals, I think once I hit the later stage of some of my deals, my few current investors may open me up to their friends and networks. 

The bigger banks I’ve worked with in the past have never asked for tax returns at this stage but maybe I’m missing something.

I was moving couches for staging in it yesterday. 

Am I being overly optimistic about the benefits being a real estate agent can add in these very early stages of my investing? 

I'm still in the learning stages, but my desire to get "into this" isn't new.

In that, you are attempting a very detailed risk/reward analysis, should your assumptions be off by 5% your conclusions could be off by 35%.I am actually not passing judgment on your conclusions at this stage.
