Hello Folks,

first time real estate investor here looking to build a team - looking for a great real estate agent who can help me find good deals + tax planning strategy partner who will help with setting up the right entity / vehicle and assist in how to plan and setup things in a way to make the most sense when it comes to maximizing profits etc. Please feel free to message me directly if you can assist or just drop a reply to my post on here :) Thanks n have a great day!

Most agents know nothing about real estate investing. They'll sell you properties that are terrible investments just to earn the commission. Even if they do have experience, they may have different goals than you and point you to something that doesn't make sense.

You should learn to find the properties yourself. IF you know exactly what you are looking for, then you can hire an agent to help expand or accelerate your search.
