Looking for Investor friendly realtor in Willamette Valley Oregon
I am looking for an investment friendly Realtor in the Willamette Valley. This includes a Realtor who invests themselves and can help walk me through the process being that I am new to real estate investing. I am interested in looking at houses for flips or long term holds in the Salem, Portland, area. This includes small cities and towns within an hours drive. Some of the towns I am considering are Mcminnville, Newberg, Sheridan, Amity, Carlton, Sherwood, Beaverton, and Tigard.

Hi James,
It sounds as though you want a real estate agent who can also do some mentoring. Instead, I suggest you obtain your real estate education from another source and then find a good agent whose only role is to find a property and negotiate the transaction for you. Don't rely on an agent to show you the ropes of investing, the results could be disastrous.
