I will say a friend in real estate just posted last night on his story that he did cash for keys to get rid of two non paying tenants and 5 dogs.

Start building relationships with local real estate agents, contractors, property managers, and lenders who are investor-friendly.

And, real estate tends to "wobble" quite frequently these days haha.

You want to find the best investor-friendly agent in your area and go work under them at whatever brokerage they are at.

Our investors were looking for agents that were investor friendly and it was a large need we heard and addressed by creating the program.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Also a good idea to connect with Investor friendly  realtors and investors who are in that area!!

Stick to budget and focus on tenant-friendly, durable finishes.

Can anyone recommend an investor-friendly agent (bonus if they can also analyze deals)?

One of the things that helped me early on was connecting with investor-friendly agents who weren't just selling properties but were genuinely willing to go the extra mile.
