What's the best way to go about picking and working with an agent?

@Paul Sofia I actually picked up another one that is an 1800 sq ft modular on an acre for $25k considering dumping that one as is and possibly doubling my money.

I will tell you just recently in the last month we picked up a property in Wayne County, Michigan a 3 bed 1 bath for under a $100k with a gross cap of 17.1% using 50% rule net return of 8.55% there are still good deals out there they are just harder and harder to come by.

In my experience, you can occasionally find some real gems that require little maintenance, can pick them up for a song, and they can cash-flow a few hundred dollars a month.

Pick one to two areas of real estate investing that fit and interest you and become experts in those areas. 

Pick one strategy and start with that.

You can go back to the original lender, but now you've lost more time, and paid for 2 appraisals.In my opinion, you are bending over dollars to pick up nickels.

In the end, there's no use preemptively investing in systems, multiples of tools, employees, workers comp and all the overhead to take your business to people who will low-ball you or haggle or just want a guy who has a license who picked up a day laborer/helper to get it done quickly and satisfactorily.

I currently have an situation that I feel is a great opportunity and was hoping to pick some of your brains who has more experience.

So a guy with cash wants me to find a property and oversea the process of fixing and flipping it....what should I be charging this gentleman....by the way this is my first time doing any of this 😬🥴 he wants to stay under 100k purchase price and has picked Essex county or Atlantic City for the property.
