Great Post! I guess I am guilty of this!

I'm going to be a licensed agent in Michigan soon and I think I'll enjoy working with investors because my long-term goal is be a full-time investor. To be honest I think I would rather work with investors exclusively.

You say that now. Try both and see what is better. 1st time home buyer sees 10 houses and buys one for 400k or investor who sees 100 properties, submits 27 offers, gets in contract with 5 and then drops out of 4 at the closing table for a 20k property.
Hmm, GOOD LUCK!

Guilty as charged I have to stop myself from emailing you on every listing you send me.

It takes a special kind of agent to enjoy working with investors (and they have to be pretty strict about who they work with). Of course, the next article you write could be "Top 10 Reasons Investors Hate Working with (Most) Realtors"
