How to become an "investor friendly" realtor

[Jennifer Marshall]

Newly licensed realtor in Texas, with some personal real estate investment background.  I want to start out "investor friendly" before becoming realtor-trained! Any advice on how to develop investor relationships and learning their strategies and goals is greatly appreciated. Looking for baby steps and mentoring at this point, with the ultimate goal of becoming the investor.

I second the cash flow comment. Also, be able to write dozens of offers very quickly instead of taking days to do one. One realtor did a nice job of sending me a dozen listings and he took one and broke down all the numbers for me so I could see the cash flow, ROI and cap ex in order to give me a general idea of the neighborhood potential.

Finally, know the rents in the area your selling.
