@Christopher Alan Rush to find a good deal for you you need to look for a way that you can help a seller in ways that others (your competition) is unwilling or unable.

In such competitive market these days, to be able to get my offer accepted as an FHA (possibly 203k) , it feels like I am going to need a lender who understands the REI and is able to lend with flexible terms.

Add in the risk that Airbnb is the scapegoat for lack of affordable housing, and your business constantly remains in political crosshairs.Then, add in your time.  

.· Lack of communication (Getting them on the phone feels like winning the lottery).· Dishonest.· Lower Fees on the front end when signing up for services.

All the agents are going to say it's illegal because no one likes competition. 

Originally I wanted to find a seller financed property that I could take over but I didn’t get to grasps anything (more than likely due to my lack of knowledge.

I'm finding myself really being held up by lending and just my lack of knowledge on all of the options.

Less competition.

So essentially, home prices in San Francisco have skyrocketed because of a lack of housing supply.Now here's where things get interesting.

Before entering this heavily competitive space, I am in search of advise from anyone willing to expose what they may have done different starting out, or what processes have proven to be a productive source of business.
