Finding quality homes on the MLS can be a challenge.

Get on the phone and/or visit your local lenders for a face to face and you find yourself immersed in so much financial speak that you need a recorder to take notes.As for the other parts of my "team" contractors are a slow and growing process as is having a very good reliable agent that also understands my criteria ( everyone's different ) and also meshes with my personality.The latter is one that I see is more of a challenge for several in this forum.

Have had challenges findings/lining-up GCs in the area (myself), so have to play the part myself.

Currently there is a building for sale ($60,000) on our main street, which on the lower level hosts one of the towns most popular bars and on the upper level has 2 apartments that need major renovation.

Pflugerville, right outside of Austin, is very popular for buy an hold.  

We build new construction (though it's a challenge finding land). 

I enjoy the challenge of trying to find "Deals" along with the satisfaction to potentially solve someone's problem.  

For agents that have been in the game for a while, what are some challenges you faced as a new agent?

Floor has a slight slope to it.3. laminate flooring was put in incorrectly 4. stress crack along with minor water damage on ceiling and walls5 new roof6. no appliances 7. the washer and dryer connections are in the kitchen8. has no central air (95%) of the houses in the area have it 9. need landscaping 10. gutters11. wall trim is in pieces12. some paint since im sticking to white ( very popular in the area)13. doors need replaced14. full remodel of the bathroomAlso the furnace and water heater are exposed in the bathroom (looks very weird) and it does have a garage or a basement but crawl space.

Based on my reading, this seems to be a popular path investors take, and it makes sense to me.
