New investor actively seeking owner-occupied purchase

[Simone Mays]

I’ve been working with a realtor for several weeks. I’ve made a couple of offers on multi family properties.  My realtor isn’t quite seeing my perspective as an investor. I want to submit an offer on a home but my realtor doesn’t think it’s going to work because it’s below list price.  The problem is the comps provided by the realtor indicate the property is listed well above what has been selling in the market and does not have any features that sets is apart. Should I go forward and submit an offer on my own, look for a new realtor, or increase my offer knowing it’s more than what the home should be sold for.  I’m in New Jersey and multi family market is very competitive.
