It was a gut punch to see the tenants whose income we were counting on mass exodus the building right after we closed Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It's crazy to think some RE agents are suggesting owners to put their houses up cause fed funds reduced, they completely misunderstand but I let the market do what it does-- market.

I met with fellow investors & agents in these markets. 

I live in Phx but we do most of our investing out of state, so I’m not also the most current on local trends: so find yourself a good local agent to confirm that:- it’s going to be hard to find anything at < $150k / door.

Be sure to work with an agent or broker who understands your local market, and consult with a professional who understands all applicable tenants-rights laws related to your transaction.

You need to get in contact with a Luxury RE Agent and high quality PM.

I struggle with that myself.Insurance broker - I can introduce you to a couple of great agents, but they are not on Bigger Pockets, so I cannot tag them.

I was also screamed at, told how unprofessional I was. 

I wish I had known that prior to me signing a contract with an agent.

I can refer you to a real estate agent who works with investors - most who are newer investors.
