Trying To Find My Niche

[Gary Kurtz]

I have a pretty good job that I've been working at for many years. We have good credit and some money saved. I've listened to many of the podcasts on BP, ready many posts here and have learned a lot.

What I'd like to know is if it is a viable option to simply work with an agent and find properties to buy and hold that would cash flow? Are those properties out there?

Of course anyone wants a great deal but I understand that my main objective is to find cash flow with the trade-off of a great deal for the time not spent in having to find that great deal. I hope that makes sense? Thanks!

Gary it depends on your market. In my area great cash flowing rentals are easy to find on the MLS. Properties to rehab and flip to homeowners are hard to find.

One problem is many agents don't know what make s a good deal. Also many agents who are used to working with homeowner/buyers don't even believe you can buy properties as cheaply as we like to buy. You need to find an agent that works with and understands investors. Good luck - Ned
