Realtors who are Investors

[Lisa Rechsteiner]

Hi guys, Im new to the forums on BP. I have some concerns about using a realtor who is an investor. I keep thinking why would they want to bring me a great deal when they could snag it for themselves? Have any of you dealt with this? I would love to know your experiences and input. We have yet to find a deal even though we are actively looking. We plan a trip to middle Tennessee area next week to scope out some neighborhoods. Try to find a buy box area. We are looking to buy and rent with the longer term plan to do some rehab.

Any advice for a beginner?

@Lisa Rechsteiner The reality is us investor/realtors don't have limitless capital to buy every deal we come across. Personally, I want my fellow investor clients to succeed as well. So I always put them first when I come across deals. Because I come from an "abundance" mindset that when I have the capital to purchase another investment property one will come along. You simply have to have trust in the agent you plan to work with. If they are good at what they do they will put you first. Because they want the repeat business and referrals from your friends and family. It should be a long term relationship and not one property and done. Hope this helps.
