I am on the product team and helped roll out the Featured Agent program.

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.

@Audrey Sommer it will be challenging to match what a PMC can do.Example: we post to around 30 websites via syndications via two software programs we pay for and also have a marketing team that manually enters a few.The Zillow Group is probably the easiest for a landlord to use.

You can always ask your tax pro if you're unsure.To give you an idea, I built an extensive flow chart for our bookkeeping team to help decide if something should be capitalized or deducted for a rental property and this became our SOP for capitalizing vs deducting.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

It puts each expense in the appropriate IRS code and punches out year end summaries that I email to my tax team. 

However, he is looking to keep us under contract as he and his team are confident they will win next year.

@Jeff Galak - big fan of Latchel's product and team.

Having a solid team around you like agent, lender etc.
