Looking for REI Friendly Agent in Urbana, IL! (and advice!)

[Francisco Sobral]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community!

I've started looking at properties near my alma matter, UIUC (Go Illini!) and have a found a couple of places that have caught my eye. I have enough cash saved up where I can afford the 20% down for some properties I am interested in. I've interacted with a couple of agents and they don't seem like the best fit for someone that is starting to get into real estate investing. Does anyone know any real estate investing friendly agent you can refer me to?

Additionally, I am using Better.com as a lender because I really like how easy and simple their website works and how transparent they are about costs. Does anyone have experience dealing with them when making offers?

Also, if anyone is interested in the Urbana market, I would love to connect with you and discuss further!

Best,
Francisco
