What criteria for deals from Agents
Hello All!
I am starting my BRRRR Strategy journey. I am wondering what criteria you have your agents send you when looking at deals.
Purchase Price
Comps
Rental comps
I am looking at out of state so I guess the more info the better but I do not want to be rude and ask for too much.

My experience has been that the time spent sending comps to prove or disprove a property that a new investor thinks they like is just not time well spent on my end. I have an entire off-market business and those properties are direct-targeted for each investor, but on the market MLS searches are a pre-learning tool so that my time isn't wasted reviewing why a multi that will get 22 bids can't receive a lowball offer. :)
I figured we just run very different businesses. I rarely do off market deals, so most of my time is spent finding value on the MLS (not always an easy task). Now that I understand how your business is set up, it makes a lot more sense why you operate the way you do. I will occasionally set up auto searches to help educate clients on the market as well. It's just not the way my clients are actually finding deals, and it sounds like that's the case for you too.
