Send me a message if you want my agents name. 

I recommend hiring either a PM or even a listing agent who you pay a half a month to a month of rent to get the unit rented.Just so you are aware, these tenants are your customers hence if you make the application process challenging and tedious at the very forefront of the process, most people don't got time for that.

Same question as @Daniel Meador, know any investor savvy agents?

I am hearing from a number of sellers (mostly developers) who are clearly being forwarded copy and paste emails from buyer agents evidenced by questions that aren't even relevant to the properties they are selling.

My regular agent won't insure it for renovations or being vacant for that long.

I am a licensed real estate agent in Austin.

They aim to have the seller cover the buyer's agent commission as part of their strategy.

I recently thought I found a great duplex but when a local agent toured the property for me, they didn't even feel safe which lead us to believe finding the right tenants would be a challenge. 

I connected with an investor friendly agent How did you finance this deal?
