Certified Investor Agent Specialists??

[Sheena Roberts]

Good Day Everyone!

My Husband and I have started to look into investing in Rental Property in Baltimore County/City. We are thinking of utilizing the BRRRR method to get a few properties under our belt. There's so much information provided for us I am excited and am really looking forward to getting our first property!

A few weeks ago we took a developer to lunch to ask questions and get his thoughts on the Baltimore market, turns out he charges as a consultant and charges a retainer. Although I wish I could afford a $5-10K consultant, its just not in the cards at this time. So we have a few meetings coming up to talk with bankers, a CPA, and hopefully an attorney.  

I've seen a few agents who are certified as "CIAS" Certified Investor Agent Specialists has anyone worked with one? Are they're any Real Estate Investor Agents in the Baltimore area? I am half-way through my licensing course, not sure if I should wait until I am licensed or find an agent right away.
