I left a general message of what I was looking for the first time I called hence the reference to future projects.When I called the second time, two weeks later, I had a specific project and what work I needed done.

You can try going to the listing agent, but they will often refer you to someone else in their office to be the buyer's agent.

I think you should speak to them in person and also reinforce it in writing referring to the lease and to the fees.  

Can anyone refer me to an experienced agent in the Augusta, Ga or Aiken, SC area that works with investors.

Forget the free sites they only refer you to pay sites.

Could you refer me some transactional funding companies that you work with before ...  

I have attached 2 photos of the lease for reference.

*I was referring to the equity in the case, if I buy for $300 but it appraises at $325 that's $25 in equity correct?

Inventory about to hit the market.Shadow inventory refers to the likely stock of housing that has not yet been placed on the real estate market.

Then you'll need references, and a background check.
