Going to meet with a realtor! What to do?

[Eric DeVito]

Hello all, I made contact with a real estate agent who will show me some homes and tell me a bit about the area I wish to invest in. Which is the Bethlem/Allentown/Easton, Pennsylvania area. I was wondering what questions should I ask the agent when I am with him? What should I be looking for in the neighborhood and homes I am going to check out. I just want to know how to best be prepared. Thanks.

I asked mine if he had ever worked with investors before or have personally invested themselves.. If the answer is no, it might be a tough road for you just starting out. I would need at least that. Describe what you want to be doing and if you get a lot of resistance, find someone else. FYI, don't sign anything committing to them before you feel comfortable with them. Good luck!
