@Drew Sygit I disagree with your assessmnet of agents. Myself and other investor agents I know are well versed in all investing strategies, as most of us are investors ourselves. We have a stake in the game for you post closing to ensure we found you the right investment and I know I tend to be in contact with my clients far after the closing table to see what worked, what didnt. I help my clients build a team from Lenders, Contractors and PMs. I do agree finding the right PM is important. There are alot that promise so much but deliver very little and I always suggest to my clients to reach out to multiple people to get a sense of what you are looking for and what tpeople offer. If you ask for a rec on Lenders, Contractors and PMs as agents tend to know all these people, I will give multiple options and encourage to talk to each one, ask alot of questions then bring what you learned to the next one.
Personally, I want to make sure your working with me went well and hopefully if I found you a one investment, I may find you 2 more in the future! It all comes down to building relationships. I agree with you in always talking to more than one. Its important! One lender offers this while another offers that. One PM offers this service while another wont. The cheapest isnt always your best option! In the business of Real Estate, you tend to get what you pay for!
