We have exhausted all other options in the area, there are cheaper options that would need to be a while-occupied renovation but I won't have time to do any renovating as I will be in a very intense training period while we live there. 

Going in and changing all the billing for each individual labor line in the back end gets exhausting. 

Ideally your agent is well-connected with flippers, landlords, or is an investor themselves.Some mistakes to avoid (not an exhaustive list by any means): Underestimating rehab costs, buying in rougher areas because the numbers look good on paper, not understanding (or ignoring) point of sale stipulations in cities that require them.If you want a second set of eyes on a deal or just want to talk strategy, feel free to shoot me a message.

Keep in mind, that a transaction can take 3-6 months on average to get to the closing table.We have a personalized onboarding experience where we strategize with our agents in the beginning and throughout the experience to ensure they are exhausting their resources on the BiggerPockets platform.
