That was my rookie mistake to not vet the actual sponsor better.  

let me ask my daughter she might have a recommendation for you.. she is a Broker there in Vegas

I am new in the real estate industry and want to see if you have any tips for a new agent, also any events or recommendation to start meeting people and getting more connected to the Real Estate world.

I am looking to rent 2 properties rent to buy or rent or buy.

@Gita FaustI do complete my own taxes, however even if I did not you could still make the entries if you knew the depreciation schedule/rules and reviewed your previous tax returns.  

Would you replace a current functioning 1000 gal septic tank to a 1250 gal tank in order to list my flip as a 4 bedroom as opposed to a 3 bedroom.

Has anyone been successful in going through the variance process and do you have any tips you can provide?

This fall is the best time of year to buy a house in *my opinion* because you have less competition and often more leverage than during the heat of summer.

My summary:  Low barrier to entry. 

They always get contacted by investors looking for deals and a realtor can help the entire process be more trustworthy and smoother than some random person on FB.I myself am a realtor here in Houston with a buyers list I have developed over my last five years of being in the investment real estate space.
