Fast forward, I called the agent this morning.

You’re not getting paid to buy it so it wouldn’t go through your broker but you better make sure you disclose you’re an agent to the homeowner in the contract.

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!

Has the agent spoken to the builders in the area who may need lots?

I live in Folsom and am a full-time agent with Coldwell Banker in EDH. 

Carl - i assume your not a licensed agent.  Ive

If you have a good relationship with a lender who has a track record of great customer service and hitting all deadlines, even better if they have a good local reputation with the listing agents in the market that you do business in, then that’s worth more than the promise of a slightly lower rate from an untested lender IMO. 

List the property on MLS or with a trusted real estate agent, and market aggressively through social media, local advertising, and open houses to generate interest.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am an investor, agent, and mortgage lender here in AZ who primarily does investment transactions.
