Hi, I’m looking for agents who fix and flip houses in my area Raleigh-Durham area to teach me is anybody that can help me.

Should I look for agents, property investment firms etc.?

Basically they become  a glorified baby sitter for agents for low fees and volume.Some brokers like to manage people instead of doing deals and that is okay, They might break six figures a year for themselves doing so.Most newbie agents cannot get on at a 100% only company with per a low per transaction fee.

In my current career, I have some involvement in the process (valuation and assessment, particularly for Agency loans), so I have some basic familiarity with the process. 

My suggestion is for you to find one in the area where you plan to operate.Since I'm not from your area, I'm sure others will chime in, or you can check the internet for agent in Tuscon.

Does anyone have recommendations for agents in Vancouver?

Therefore, it is not 'double taxed'Talk to your CPA as there are many advantages for agents who are also real estate investors.
