Finding a Real Estate Agent Long Distance

[Andrew Cook]

Hello BP!! One piece of the pie I didn't think was going to an issue when starting to invest out of state was finding a real estate agent! I have emailed over 30 individuals in the Midwest market that I am looking in with out a single reply in over a week.  What I put into my email is introducing myself as a real estate investor my criteria, how many units I am wanting to buy over the next year, and asking if they have preferred lenders or property managers that I can also get in touch with.  That is it, pretty short and sweet, but still no success.  Being out of state I am trying to find that someone on the ground to help me.  Any advice or thoughts you have on the matter would be great! Thanks in advance!
