I'd call the listing agents involved and pepper them with questions about active and sold listings.
If I were looking to do my first real estate deal with zero prior experience and no money, here's what I'd do (I did).
I'd start with the target of buying a single-family, duplex, 3plex, or 4plex in an area close to where I lived and that I was familiar with.
I'd call the listing agents involved and pepper them with questions about active and sold listings.
I'd call local banks or mortgage brokers to get an idea of loan terms I'd be able to qualify for. Rate, Loan Amount, LTV, Term, Guaranty, etc.
I'd be building relationships with these bankers along the way.
**Be sure to ask them what options you'd have with an FHA loan, 3.5% down government backed.**

I'd drive the streets, search public city planning for the area, know every proposed & ongoing development, talk to all the listing brokers that have properties on the market
I'd be on Youtube watching FREE videos on how to model a property in excel.
I'd google search: How to make an investor deck?
Can't stress enough the "skin in the game".
Putting your thoughts on paper can be sobering.
I'd start talking to friends, family, or anyone who would listen about making an investment with me.
In 90 days, you'd be more of a market expert than you think.
You'd have conviction and confidence.
I'd then start cold calling every property that met my criteria and follow up with a letter offering to purchase.

Put in the extra work and use your license to find a deal and get a buyer's commission at closing, which can be used as equity in the deal.
Raising equity is not as hard as it seems and your first investor is likely betting more on you than the property.
Most crews show up early to get material before they head to their jobs.

The commission is roughly 3%, so it should be close to all you need.
You can use your license as well to list the property on MLS.

2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.
Beautiful explanation on positional option selling by @Mitesh_Engr
Sir on how to sell low premium strangles yourself without paying anyone. This is a free mini course in
Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

1st Live example of managing a strangle by Mitesh Sir. @Mitesh_Engr
• Sold Strangles 20% cap used
• Added 20% cap more when in profit
• Booked profitable leg and rolled up
• Kept rolling up profitable leg
• Booked loss in calls
• Sold only
Sold 29200 put and 30500 call
— Mitesh Patel (@Mitesh_Engr) April 12, 2019
Used 20% capital@44 each
2nd example by @Mitesh_Engr Sir on converting a directional trade into strangles. Option Sellers can use this for consistent profit.
• Identified a reversal and sold puts
• Puts decayed a lot
• When achieved 2% profit through puts then sold
Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
