Your new agent (that you think is motivated) may lack all of the key ingredients to SEAL THE DEAL, which is what you are looking for; someone to help you build wealth and create income. 

Personally, knowing the market and having good contacts is very important - and as @Victor N. said you must buy right here as I would not count on natural appreciation making your deal a home run. 

Understand that the main allure (human nature really) is always to start making $ as soon as possible, taking whatever shortcut you can take.

It's just the nature of the beast.Just make your whatever deal you're doing's numbers are good in your eyes, and go ahead and pull the trigger.The first one is always the scariest.

If you're not categorized this way, you will face limitations on losses that you can take in any given year, as your real estate activities will be considered "passive" in nature.

I understand it's hard work but luckily hard work comes natural to me.

With some of the experience (especially construction) I feel that it is only natural to take steps in investing.
