Any residential realtors have success catering solely to investors???

I'm in the process of signing up with a broker, as I've just passed my CA RE exam. I'm looking forward to hittin the ground running and can't wait to close some deals. However, my aim is to strictly target investor clientele, not retail home buyers and sellers. I've worked with investors in my private lending business for the past 3 years and really enjoy it. I can't imagine dealing with emotionally driven buyers and sellers, who want the perfect house with the perfect yard and the perfect wall paper and.... yea, so you see where my heads at.

My question to the BP community - more specifically the BP residential agent community- is this: Have you been able to hone in and work strictly with residential real estate investors? If so, how did you market your services and attract a sizable group of loyal investor clients who regularly use you for their business endeavors?

I say be strategic with your working with Investors. Look to list for rehabbers in a seller's market. And run with investor-buyers (rehabbers and landlords, not wholesalers) once more inventory becomes available and we're closer to a buyer's market.

But to run around for an investor NOW trying to put in offers on REO's that are getting snatched up by stupid money isn't smart, imo.
