Choosing a Realtor as an Out-of-town investor?

[Katherine Fusco]

Hi wonderful people!

I'm a newbie who wants to invest in my hometown (the market where I currently live is too hot for me to start out in). I'm familiar with the area and the housing stock, but I don't know many real estate professionals in that area. How do you pick a realtor to work with when you're not local? What are good signs? What are walk-away warning signs? 

Thanks so much!

@Katherine Fusco you will 100% want to work with a real estate agent who has investing experience.

This was a non negotiable for me when I started investing out of state. When you’re running a business, you need a real estate partner who can also see it as a business and take the emotion out of it to help guide you. That person will be your eyes and likely advisor, so think of it as networking and interviewing a business partner.

Reach out if you want to talk more strategy. I can definitely walk you through my strategy when I started.
