The asking price was 125,000 and after I did a walkthrough with my agent I offered 100,000 because the house needed some serious work done.

Is is subjective by real estate agents?

I am looking to grow my buy and hold rental portfolio and would love to network with other investors/agents/wholesalers etc.

However, I have heard and read of many horror stories of landlords working with incompetent property managers who provide no real value.In attempt to avoid this issue, I am doing my due diligence and asking investors for referrals of trustworthy property manager.

Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

If it were me, I would reach out to other franchisees in your area (perhaps your Development Agent might have some insight...see...I know the Subway lingo and I've done Subways in my banking days).

Have you spoken with an agent or others to see if its the area?

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks

I am a real estate agent trying to make new connections that is looking into property investing in the future. 

Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building.
