Going directly to sellers realtor for questions.

[Ramon Mota]

Ok I called a sellers realtor directly because I've never had a condo but was looking to invest in one. $143000 price 950sf, 2bed, 1.5 bath. 

I called to ask how much the HOA was and how the utilities were factored in. Some have utilities included in the dues. The realtor respond that I should have my realtor ask that kind of question.

I feel like I don't want to waste my guys time filling in just a few numbers to see if the place will cash flow. It's close enough for me on paper to go look at it this weekend if I had that last bit of information. 

Is this just one of those things I need to do this way so that I don't step on someone's toes?

Your realtor will/should be happy to help you. Whatever that listing agent knows, she or he typically (if they are doing it right) will have already put on the MLS, either in the public section or the agents only section.
