It is very important to work with an agent that has closed HUD deals. 

Kris Anderson is an insurance agent. 

Are you a real estate agent?

are you working with an agent? 

Regarding your agent, definitely look for someone else.

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

I did reach out to 1 local bank which was recommended by the listing agent and they are currently not lending to out of state investors.

Is he going to just tell you to knock on doors and write letters, or is he going to introduce you to well vetted agents in your market that are known to source deals and sell for realistic prices?

For LTRs, prioritize markets with population growth and strong job markets.Wherever you choose, work with an investor-friendly agent who knows the local market and can help you analyze deals.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I would recommend @Collin H. for PM - He may have other recs for you like agents, etc.Good luck!
