I always recommend an agent that is also a successful investor.  Feel free to reach out to discuss your goals and I can connect you with the right agent for your search.  

@Anne Christensen

where are you located?  Pittsburgh is a great market but there can be major variations among and within neighborhoods. 

Less than .1 percent of real estate agents are really investor-friendly and invest themselves. Most don't know anything at all about investing and a lot want to work with investors, but don't invest so don't have the experience.

Pittsburgh is a good investment market so there are going to be strong investor-friendly agents there. I don't personally know one, but I have friends who has a couple doors there who I could put you in touch with. They are a couple and have nothing to pitch, just investors.

@Anne Christensen BRRRR can still work here on the equity side of things. Plenty of fixer upper homes that have good margins after rehab. You just won't really have a ton of positive cash flow right off the bat if you are refinancing at 70-80% LTV at today's interest rates.

Multi family you can get both but those are tougher on the equity side of things since they cost more to rehab compared to a single family home. So won't tend to find as many oppotunities that work to maximize equity gained like single family homes.

For single family homes you'll want to stick to neighborhoods under about $225k ARV in order to have rent/price ratios that make sense on the backend for holding as a BRRRR. In most instancdes anything higher than that is more flip territory now with the higher interest rates.
