What are you doing to get the leads that is leaving you so empty-handed thus far @Zack Krideler?

@Benjamin Swicegood- Welcome.  You are in a great market with lots of opportunities.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

@Sean Shanley, if you have questions about any areas in Richmond, surrounding areas, please don't hesitate to contact me. 

Anyone have recommendations for the best investor-friendly realtor in Fairfax, VA?

@Lakshay G.,

As others have said (and I agree), it's important to decide on a direction to start your investing career.  

Every book I have read that BP has published has been great and has helped me.  So I would recommend everything they produce. 

I also have a recommendation for a book that came out recently- great read- that covers both subjects, almost all facets of investing- That Flipping Book.  Here is a link below:

Best wishes.

@Laurie Falk's book on buying properties with no and low money down.  Also a wealth of knowledge that you should find helpful.

@Bob Collett,

To be transparent, I currently manage my own portfolio and am branching out as a start-up. I thought VA's only requirement was to take the Fair Housing course. If being licensed is the case, I need to postpone the meeting obviously. And get my license.

@Laurie Falk gave a great interview on the subject on the BP Podcast.  It was either episode 70 or 73.

@Geoff Bishop

A few of ideas from a fellow Richmonder.

-Call different brokerages and ask if they have any realtors who do any kind of volume in multi-family or work with investors.

-Have a realtor set up an account for you that will give you email alerts anytime a new multi-family property comes on the market, or experiences a price drop.  From there, run the numbers in the BP calculator for rental properties.

-Call some of the larger property management companies and ask them if they have anyone who owns multi-family properties and are looking to sell.  Incentivize them by telling them (of course follow through with this as well) that you will maintain their services for a minimum period of time (you wouldn't want to obligate yourself but for so long if you do not like how they perform).

Hope this helps.
