as others have stated, if a RE agent does not believe they can sell the property, find a different agent that believes they can sell the property.  

I'm an agent and investor and about 80% of my buyer clients all house hack.

Right now for me, the focus is on flipping but only because I have the right agent and contractor, I could not be successful alone.

Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies.

@Stuart Udis your absolutely right, as far as the market my biggest issue is that I don’t know that area very well and neither does the agent that is helping me.

HI @Dallas HooverI think the guy/girl you should be looking for is a commercial agent/broker.

Sometimes agents do it because they don't know any better, are order takers, or make a mistake.  

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.

Selling makes agents money and the IRS if you don''t 1031, it's almost always better to re-leverage instead.

Many investors use wholesalers or real estate agents who specialize in investment properties, or they directly target owners with distressed properties.5.
