Investor-friendly agents, the good ones, are diamonds in the rough, and we should be treated as such because 99% of regular agents don't understand investment properties and the metrics surrounding what we are looking to do as investors.

@Diamond Williams Welcome to the forum!

And I hope everyone finds there diamond in the rough.

Only asking 15k in a area when fixed up can be sold 80k at least this is a chance to buy cheap in a diamond in the rough area before someone else does.

And we all know that if he enters and cleans out the stuff the irreplaceable diamond tiara would have been left.

I would recommend several networking groups (outside of BP) in the Boston area to start diving into the local space (Black Diamond Investors, Boston Real Estate Guild, and ReCap Investment Group).

Perhaps renting and getting a pulse on the market, being able to drive for dollars and put a list together of properties to cold call/mail, dish out to your broker to call, etc will help you find that diamond in the rough.
