My opinion is that the buyer's broker earns their commission in negotiating..especially if you are in a multiple offer situation.  You need to find a good one that gets you the deals and saves you money! Look for investor friendly agents on this platform or social media.

Hi Matthew! I agree with @Lawrence Potts.  Reach out to @Grant Schroeder - he will be a great resource for you and I believe still lives in Newberg as well.

Hi @Brandon Blahnik I sure do. I have a STR there and have helped quite a few investors buy properties there.

I started hosting a meetup once a month just to collaborate on investment strategies and opportunities.  It's so fun and a great way to meet other investors!

@Dave Skow Thanks Dave! It's a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath condo ~ high hoa dues but it was worth it for my clients to purchase as their son will be there for 4 years.  They aren't looking at cash on cash return right now.

@Bradley Dosch right?! I live over in east King County if you need any help in this area with clients. I am also looking for another STR for myself if you hear of anything.
