I used a local buyers-agent, he took alot of hassle out of my hands, he was worth the $$ and then some.

Purchase price: $271,000 this is the first property I bought, I put 0% down on this, it cashflows me about $350 a month. this property was a good investment, and I think I got lucky. my real estate agent found this for me as it wasn't being sold on market. truly a gem.

Sold with extra lot for value increase Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out! 

Most RE agents are clueless to this fact. 

Hindsight is 20/20.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Mike Terry I'm an agent and investor in the area.

I want to bring on one more top agent and also hire another admin to take more work of my plate.On a personal side, we are going on 6 trips each year (sounds amazing, but I still work more days in a year than in my former corporate life, because I usually don't get weekends off).

I do not believe it matters if you start with mortgage broker or RE agent.  

Find an agent with a team that you can build a longterm working relationship with that will make sure you won't overpay for a property and overall will land you an actual deal.
