Which is better

[William Fritsche]

Two part question,

It is better to use Real Estate Agent in the beginning to find a good investment for a buy and hold multi-family  4 Plex.?

Or should I look on web sites for properties?  

This is for homes in Jacksonville, FL.

Should I look for my banking partners and find out how much money I am working with (ball park) and then look for investments that fit that $ amount before I look for a property?

Will,
