I have been impressed at the prompt, direct and knowledgeable team members.

Even if this is your first time in real estate investing, as a resident you will be quite knowledgeable of the good areas and the "low rent" districts.

Also, they must be knowledgable of the entire process of real estate listings, sales, title etc., and someone that works aggressively to find what you need.

I have a 6/3 in a desirable school district and I get good rent from large/combined families.

There are alot less agents working commercial and the knowledgeable ones set themselves apart.

Use the site and all of the local help as much as possible to increase your investing knowledge & experience.

I greatly appreciate this place and the wealth of knowledge and advice that this place has.

Sure, some knowledge is better than none but many very influencing things have changed.

Just so Tony doesn't have to bust out the numbers for now - (maybe he will later) I am going to make a wild guess with no market knowledge in his area, based on materials in picture, that it cost Tony $200 per sq ft including lot and permit costs, putting his profit around $137k gross.
