how to find an investor-friendly agent in boston area

[Rachel Feng]

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to this biggerpockets and sort of new to real estate investing (I currently have one SFH rental in PA). I am planning to purchase a two-family in Newton/Belmont/Waltham south side area, one unit as primary and the other unit for renting. My plan is to upgrade it and eventually convert it to a condo.

My question is how I can find investor-friendly realtors in Boston area, who I can build relationship with and can potentially lead me to future deals. I was also hoping to work with an agent who has some basic knowledge in condo conversions as well. 

Any opinions on waltham south side vs newton for condo conversion would be appreciated as well. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi Rachel, Realtor and owner of a local brokerage and investor myself here. I know the areas you're talking about well and have experience with condo conversions. House hacking, as you mentioned is a great way to get started here since prices are relatively high. Glad to talk with you to see if I might be able to help.
