I'm hopeful that your current arrangement will be more fruitful but I have had mixed luck with family and friends in similar contexts. 

Hopefully your significant other (over time) will realize how important it is to you, and will also be able to eventually see the fruits of your labor.  

Your phone skills also need to be top notch if your cold calling efforts are going to bare any fruits.

I appreciate the two examples and will implement them in my current search for agent info on google.

Personally, I have some small background in architecture and construction, have my RE license (just now starting to do this full-time), am pursuing an appraisal license now, eventually will learn more about inspecting, and while I'm not yet an investor, hubby and I do plan to do so down the road once the other aspects bear fruit in the form of funds for same. 

LOLthis of course is the risk of being an agent... and its a main reason for agent wash out... spend a year hauling someone around and they go buy a FSBO.... it simply goes with the territory.most experienced agents MY Wife included.. we don't haul people around and have not for 20 years.you give them the address let them do a drive by .. and then set up a showing if they want to see them...

Even for residents that are not in wheelchairs but just older, it is just a more friendly living space for aging residents.

My wife and I are fairly new investors and we are looking for agents that service Southern California (mainly focused in the Greater LA area). 

My name is Scott McLeod and I'd be happy to help you find your next investment property and hope to also build a long a fruitful partnership. 

If you want to look for agents or PMs, find one there through a mutual friend.
