Quote from @Rene Dittrich: We are selling 2 lots of land and would be open to do seller financing for one of them.

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :) 

Thanks for the advice, I have read some books but not that one.

@David R Pustelnik sent you a DM to futher discuss one-on-one, please respond:)

One of the things I'm trying to figure out is if I'm better off getting a few lower cost properties or on higher priced property. 

One of the best places to see what's out there in your area is to check Airbnb AND Pricelabs. 

Please, can someone help me with information on getting an agent (Group home center) to rent my house to in Maryland.
