Thanks Sharon,
I agree, I do know what I want. I know about real estate agent loyalty so I am careful. The first person, I inquired with he is slow to respond and I just don't get the feeling he wants to put in the time to help me find a property.
So I have moved on. I hope this one works out.

Hello everyone,
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon. This weekend was a fail trying to look at properties again.
I would like to purchase my first buy and hold by the end of April.
I am looking in Baltimore. I don't mind finding a property that may need a total rehab if the numbers are right. I plan on holding properties for a very long, long time. I plan on paying all cash for the purchase and rehab.
However, two realtors so far seem not interested in showing me home in which I DON'T MIND the key is I DON'T MIND doing a rehab. I am looking for properties on streets where there are other occupied properties and the house next to the one I am interested is adjacent to at least one other occupied property.
However, all they say to me is that property is a lot of work because it may need a complete rehabs. Which, I am fine with it as long as the number match.
I have asked them are they use to selling these types of homes and are they comfortable and they both said yes. However, I am not sure.
Any advise?
PS: The guy, I saw today was like yeah our company has 1200 properties (which I ask if they could show me a few in my price range in prior emails which I was told would be okay ). He kept telling us they are in really bad shape and I wouldn't want to see them. Is he trying to sell these properties for his company or not? I don't get it.
