It is vital in our march toward freedom to be able to jump on those opportunities at a moments notice before all that prosperity slips through our fingers.

@sarah brown, it's a great habit to visit your applicants home and walk inside as part of your screening steps.

This option is freaking awesome because you can use this loan for anything, vacation, paying debt, a girlfriends shoe shopping habit, or even RE.

Reaching out to a broker or lender is vital in understanding how to qualify, and the general logistics of the real estate industry.

Sorry to not have more info at this exact time, but I wanted to let you know that the lack of response to your question is completely not related to how important your question was, it is exactly the right thing to be asking as a new agent.In the meantime, I believe these books are very helpful for business in general:The 1-Page Marketing Plan by Allan DibAtomic Habits by James ClearFinish - Give Yourself the Gift of Done by Jon Acuff (especially if perfectionism is holding you back)Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss - a must-read book on negotiating, IMO.All of these are good listens on Audible, especially the last one because voice tone is part of what he talks about.Good luck!

I am an aspiring wholesaler getting in the habit of reviewing properties to get myself into the habit of finding deals.
