In your professional opinion what is the time span should i be giving real estate agents to send me information of listings after the first call?

@Kendrick HudsonKendrick, you have hopefully networked in your area with professional, active investors who will be a great resource for you.

Please share some of your experiences here, how to hire a professional real estate agent?

Also note that you can't use list prices, you need to look at actual sold prices - usually within the last six months, within as narrow a radius as possible to the property you're trying to value, on very similar properties - in other words, Comparable Sales, or "Comps".A realtor should be able to run this search for you in about five minutes when they're logged into the MLS, and they can exclude REOs and Short Sales (or include them) - depending on how you want the comps to be run.I recommend getting your hands on some old appraisals from a professional appraiser (and/or broker price opinions), so you can see the process they use to determine market value of a particular property.I also recommend making friends with a realtor who will "run comps" for you occasionally.

It (the new rules) are to allow for longer grace periods so borrowers (remember not everyone is a professional REI) a greater chance to understand and be able to make informed decisions on things like charges involved.
