I know the cost to originate loans is currently limiting lenders but a few years ago, Navy Federal credit Union financed a $26,000 purchase for me.

Looking for a real estate attorney to review a contract I have with a federal entity, basically, I need an attorney to interpret it based on the law. 

Network with knowledgeable real estate agents in the market where you want to buy.

In this post, I will briefly discuss the unique supply and demand situation in Las Vegas.SupplyLas Vegas is unique in that it is a tiny island of privately owned land in an ocean of federal land.

My goal for 2024 is to purchase at least 1 property and go to at least 1 networking event a month or grab coffee/lunch with investors/agents/contractors in the area at least once a month to force myself into taking action.Let me know if anyone has any advice for a newbie or if anyone in the Philly area wants to meet up for coffee and chat!

Your agent will get push back on the vacant dwelling because of the existing damage but (as has already happened). 

But I have trouble trusting real estate agents in general.

So if you are starting to mail, you better come out of the gate with a well thought out mail piece or it could become very discouraging for the new guy.It seems sometimes the best option is for the generic yellow letter because it is tried and tested and people will call but with a formal letter like a lot of people send out with probates, the responses will typically not be as many so any feedback from experienced guys is always helpful.That's the main reason this site is so powerful..the ability to stand on the shoulders of successful people so you can get off on the right foot.I started mailing as a real estate agent 10 years ago when I started out and I got sold some really bad ideas that cost me a lot of money with no return.

Know any investor friendly agents? 

A great first step is to find an investor-friendly real estate agent.
