Hi guysI'm new to real estate investing and I was considering applying the 50% rule to my deal analysis prior to asking my real estate agents for actuals.I'm assuming this will help build credibility with them and allow for more concrete inquiries rather than constantly asking them for information on deals that may never get done.What are you guys thoughts?
