Investor friendly agent in New York city

[Irina Balueva]

Hello biggerpockets,

What would you suggest for somebody who is looking to begin working as an agent who specializes in investing. How to successfully get started? What companies i would better work with?

The thought of being a traditional agent with focusing on regular home buyers doesn’t attract me at all. I have been spending every available minute studying, reading, listening all I can find about real estate investing and this is what drives me and this is where I want to be. And also I live in NY. Are any investor friendly agents there? How did you start? Or do you think I would better working with other markets as a beginner?  Please any advices? 

Thank you

Irina

Hello Irina,

@Alex Franks Offered some great advice. I would network with investors via BP or REI meetings. Also, get out there and interview different brokerages in your area and other areas. Check out open houses as well.

I am a new agent in the NY metro area and have found these interactions to be extremely helpful. 

Best of luck to you!
