Right now, I am an aspiring real estate agent specializing in investment properties while also in the process of developing an app!

I would give the listing agent a call.

IMHO the key is having an agent on the buy side who understands the process and can make some magic happen for you. 

I am an investor in Cincinnati (not an agent/realtor), a native Cincinnatian and enjoy talking with anyone interested in the area.

I am an agent that does only investments in the area.

Even if you've taken a break and feel lost, the first step is to get to a meetup asap or just go to an Open House or view a property with your agent.

Hi @Wesley Peixoto - I’m an agent based in Fairfield County, and I’d love the opportunity to connect with you.

Also you should inquire with insurance agents about the cost to insure.

This allows entry without a key, and allows me to change the lock as needed if I don't want someone in there.As an agent, I provide contacts to my clients who will do these things, and occasionally I will do favors for past clients who need someone to open the door or quickly supervise an appointment; of course not all agents will do this or for free.
