I own a three-family house in Queens, NY.   

My questions are, Can I approach the listing agent directly if my agent do not respond? 

Are you looking to buy for your own account to hold and collect payments for the long term?

(agent got 2.5%, $5900) That worked awesome, because their agent was awesome.

When it pops up, I make my offer.I already have my RE Agent in that market looking for me based on my buying criteria, so they are my eyes, which is shy I don't need to see the property until after an accepted offer...and that's just to verify that the property meets my criteria. 

@David PtakWhat’s the addressI can tell you if he still owns itHave you skiptraced him to get new contact information?

I like to say there are many RISK in Tile and City Code, I have a property even got Condemnation to Demolishing the property, I'm so scared once I received that notice.3.FlipSystem is not providing exclusive value, because you can find the deals on Zillow yourself, find your own local Realtor and interview your own local Contractor, they just to provide their connection to you!

My husband and I have had the dream to own buy-and-hold properties and flips for years now but have never made any moves towards that goal.

I want to be able to eventually invest in real estate and become financially independent.

Make sure your lease states that the landlord retains the garage (on this shared property) for his own personal use, comes and goes as he pleases.
