New real estate agent/investor seeking advice

[Antonio Villao]

Hello everybody, I'm new to the investing/BP Forum world and i recently just got my real estate license in the Tampa, FL area. I wanted to ask everybody what are some key things that investors should/do look for in an agent. I plan on investing myself within the next few months and i plan on using an agent to help me as i am so new to the investing/agent world. More specially im looking to househack a small multifamily property. Any tips would be helpful in this regard thank you in advance for your help!

If you are looking to represent investors, then the best thing you can do is understand how an investors mind works.

You should meet with local investors, ask them a ton of questions, and pay attention.

Real estate agents are a dime a dozen because the barrier to entry is very low. But you will stand out amongst the crowd if you understand how to underwrite a deal, and you are able to send real deals to your clients.
