MLS Road Blocks

[Broderick Campbell]

I've been practicing my deal analysis and calculating ARVs recently and I've been having some trouble getting a look at some homes on the MLS. I mostly get stopped when the listing agent requires that I have proof of funds for a showing of a listing that is looking for a cash buyer. My question is would it help if I had an investor friendly RE agent to help me out or will I have to find another way to brush up on my analysis skills. I'm a hands on learner, by using real properties, I soak in information and practices like a sponge. I'm new and I don't want to be a crappy wholesaler and investor when the opportunities presents itself. Thanks in advance ladies and gents!
