How would you attack this situation?

[Nick Schiltz]

Hello, thanks for reading. Currently looking for multifamily properties in MA, but the numbers are looking better out of state. Have funding and can find properties in markets that interest me. 3 things holding me back are

1. Unsure of areas- Sure we can find great deals on paper, but what is "that neighborhood" like? Near me in Worcester, Ma the rents are easily $1200/mo in one spot and two streets over you would be lucky to get $900. Would agents or managers be better for this?

2. Should I just cold call property managers with good yelp reviews? haha I am not very experienced on BP. Is there a way to find property managers on here and filter down to the location I am looking for?

3. Sounds silly when I say it. I have a buyers agent working hard for me licensed here in MA, and it feels like a betrayal of trust or something if one day I'm just like "hey joe i dont currently need you to keep looking for properties, i just bought one with another agent down in TN." Is that crazy? I am all about trust, accountability, and being a stand up citizen. I feel like it would be immoral.

Thank you for any input. Be gentle, its my first post. HAHA
