Localized knowledge for an agent or investor is needed to answer most of these questions.

A trusted real estate agent and a lender can guide you through the process, explain the help that’s out there, and connect you with resources to make buying a home a reality.Bottom LineIf you’re ready to stop wondering if buying a home is possible and start exploring solutions, connect with an expert agent and trusted lender.

However, as an agent in all of this you need to disclose on the front end that you are an agent. 1.

Sounds like strategy call would make most sense to see what your goals are with REI and being an agent to determine if the organization I represent aligns with the direction you are looking to go. 

Quote from @Rory Darcy: Hi guys my name is rory, pretty new to this im an out of state investor residing in new york, looking to invest in wisconsin and illinois, currently looking to build my portfolio around multi family duplexes or single family residencies, would be great to connect with like minded investors or agents who can lend a hand.Rookie investors should not invest out of state.

Can anyone suggest and agent or property manager that can help me with this?

This allows entry without a key, and allows me to change the lock as needed if I don't want someone in there.As an agent, I provide contacts to my clients who will do these things, and occasionally I will do favors for past clients who need someone to open the door or quickly supervise an appointment; of course not all agents will do this or for free.
