Most real investors should not buy from realtors unless the realtor is an investor themselves and understand the business. Unfortunately, most seasoned realtors don’t even know how to calculate a cap rate. Even less advice on what a good deal looks like. And trust me I’m a broker and I have agents that have 20 years of experience that I’m still coaching on how to do this.

lets be fair here..   residential transnational realtors who make up by far the greatest amount of agents.. simply don't deal in the investment end .. they sell houses to families .. there is no need for them to understand cap rate or anything else related to investment real estate.. Some agents specialize in investment properties and or you have the whole Commercial brokerage community that all they do is investments..

Its obvious that many investors who are not really up to speed on how brokerages work dont understand this.. And think that all agents should have deep knowledge of the rental property niche..

Like other business's real estate has there specialties..
selling cash flow rentals is just one of them..
