You remind me of the guys who go hunting with the giant 10,000+ candle power halogen spotlights that when stopped say something like there not shining the deer, there just illuminating a path for the bullet.... 

Most agents aren't worth their pay, so it's going to be the cheapest one to get me the basics contractually as the investor but as a first time homebuyer or someone not seasoned you need their intel & savvy.

@ J Scott would you say that FTF flip is a good route to go for newbie investors or do they only work with seasoned investors?

Commercial brokers will know more becasue they have to... they get the contract and hand it off and the deals i have done there i get inspection addendum's written by the attorneys and boy that is very dysfunctional.. no explanations as they are getting flat fee's and spend zero time doing what needs to be done to keep transactions together the little things the public does not see. but anyway thought provoking.... 100.00 and hour is a pittance to a seasoned agent.. don't see that flying.. but to a mid level or starter who comes from a back ground of getting paid by the hour..

So you don't respond to the phone at all.Best practice: Send over the application and lease, the 3 day notice, bullet points on how it was served, the other unpaid rent for the second count, a check for the fee and ask when to be in court.

Getting to point #3 on this, I think this happens artificially to a degree due to the amount of agents withholding properties in Q4 of 2023 because of seasonality.

I am a new agent and working with other seasoned investors in Indianapolis and looking to connect with other agents and investors to expand my network.

There are many online marketplaces, including BP, where you can post your properties.Aside from selling by owner off the MLS, which offers the greatest flexibility to make a "deal" with an investor, generally it might be best to work with a seasoned investor friendly seller's agent that can guide you through the process and potentially find an investor.

Might just bite the bullet and dump a few hundred bucks down the drain every month until I can sell this place and break even.What a waste
