Should I use a realtor if I find the investment property?

[Cody Kahl]

Hey,

New member here and learning as much as I can as fast as I can. I have been looking at a lot of different properties over the last few months looking to make my first investment purchase. I have found one that could be interesting and am curious if I should use a realtor despite having found the property myself? I understand that a realtor also helps the negotiation process, etc, but I think I can do this on my own. The seller has an agent, and I could use the fact that they would save money by not paying a buying agent commission to lower the price. The 4 plex has also been for sale for a little bit as well.

Thoughts?

All the Best!
