Realtor or no realtor

[Joshua Logan]

I am currently looking on the mls houses to buy cash, is it best to try and get a hold of the seller, the broker, or have a real estate agent?

Joshua,

I would say that using a realtor on deals or not should be based on your experience level and time. When you can find the right realtor they can be worth a ton to you. I've had some great realtors over the years that took care of all of the leg work for me. They found great investment options for me and then I would go through the list at home to weed it out before I even left the house. On the flip side a lot of realtors are not worth my time. 

I can attest to what Tyler said that a good realtor that knows what you're looking for might bring you deals that have not been put on the market yet. I can tell you that has been the case many times for me over the years.
