The mortgage company gets paid off first, then in a traditional sale, the rest minus agent fees and utilities and closing costs goes to the seller.

I told them I wasn’t and the agent said I could still invest.

Where do you report  an agent?

while still trying to keep up with the competition Do you rely more on direct-to-seller marketing, networking with agents, leveraging platforms like PropStream and Batch Leads, or just by looking at a lot of deals?

Also, the agent directory on BiggerPockets is a great resource.   

He has a lot of units and is a licensed agent in Worcester MA who knows plenty about single-family as well.

Seems he owes everyone, even our agent says she too hasn't been paid in months.

I would recommend finding an investor friendly agent in the area you are wanting to invest to be your boots on the ground.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

Imagine me asking my attorney for $35K worth of free court appearance /advise or a real estate agent to forgo the 6% fees on selling of a home or demanding my property manager give me 20 years of free property management or going to Best Buy every week and coming out with a cart full of electronics good without paying, etc.
