Hey Ian, since you're not an active agent I would connect with some local investor-friendly agents in your market.

The thing to keep in mind, if you expect to cover the costs of doing the upgrades, that typically is "chasing rainbows" unless you bought below value to begin with.Moral of story, if you are planning on living in a property for a long time, renovate to your taste, if you are planning on selling in the next 5 years, be judicious in upgrades.Selling costs money, real estate agents, escrow, title, and concessions and so on.

Hi fellow agents and brokers.Most of my work is finding off market properties for myself or investors.

What Does This Mean for Real Estate Agents?

My name is Jacob, and I’m a real estate agent and investor based in Saginaw, MI.

I would suggest reaching out to the agent you had already worked with in the past as this is a common thing that happens in leases.

These platforms allow direct engagement with your target audience.Email Campaigns: Reach out to investor focused real estate agents and property managers in other major cities who may have clients seeking Florida investments.

We have an agent we work with in Central Florida that is awesome! 

To find good deals, consider networking with agents and local investors, as well as using MLS, off-market listings, and auctions.

@Jeff Nichols There is no difference then buying or selling with an agent.
