I'm new to real estate investing and am going to be searching for a real estate agent.  The market I will be looking to buy in has a lot of special rules for renting out property with parts of the city having different rules than other parts.  The market also has low inventory currently and houses aren't on the market long.  Long story short, I am wondering if it is more important to find a rock star realtor that has been in the game for a while and has a lot of sales under their belt, or do I go with an agent that is also an investor in the area and knows the rules but doesn't have many sales under their belt?  I realize it would be best to find one that has both of these characteristics, but I want to hear peoples opinion on what they feel is more important.  Thank You
