To get started, connect with a knowledgeable real estate agent and lender, practice analyzing deals, and network through local investor meetups.

That will be the best spot to meet an investor friendly agent in person or at least meet other investors in your markets that can help connect you to the right agents.

They can also give you a better idea of how much you should be prepared to pay so you can cruise through your closing with confidence.And as you plan ahead for closing day, be sure to budget for your real estate agent’s professional service fee too, in case the seller doesn’t cover it.

You absolutlely need to be direct to seller or have close, personal relationships with wholesalers and active agents.

Investors and agents often post when they need help with admin tasks or market research.

I am a real estate agent and I have a client who proposes these terms. 

If an agent like you can take care of a).

I would suggest giving it up and just hire an agent when you are ready to transact in the future.
