@Hamidou Keita you ant to be careful in selecting an agent and a PMC!
+95% of agents have only done owner-occupied transactions, which are mostly emotional-based. As an investor, you should only make numbers-based purchases.
Also, agents are only transaction-based - if they make a mistake (or choose to take advantage of your naivete) they still get their commission check and can disappear:(
So, a great PMC is often the best choice to start with, since they obviously know the rental market and they have to deal with whatever they help you buy, on a daily basis after the purchase!
PM us for more info.
