Should I use a buyer agent?

[Ryan D.]

Good day BP community. I recently got interested in investing in MF and have been focusing on learning as much as I can. I found a 16 unit MF on the MLS that I am interested in and have a potential investor that is highly interested. He wants me to get more info on it. Since I have been focused on learning the last couple months and have been busy at work, I haven't had time yet to build a team. Should I just contact the listing agent directly or should I take the time to find my own agent and go through them?

Regardless, I would appreciate any recommendations for commercial real estate brokers, CPAs and lawyers in south central Wisconsin. My focus is on finding value add multi-families in the short run and I want to start building a team.
