I usually use a RE agent for sales, but I'm not sure how to pick one. 

Hey @Aaron Price, I think the best way you can get started in real estate is to reach out to local investor-friendly agents in your market.

I am a local agent here at an investment brokerage, and would love to connect for any future deals you may be looking to purchase.

Wanted to introduce myself.

Looking for in country contacts banks, agents, contractors, recommended areas, etc to prep for a productive visit.  

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.

I will use you as the selling agent.

It's worth comparing terms between your current lender and others to see who offers the best deal in terms of rates and fees.Purchasing a Property: Whether you purchase through regular listings, an agent, or an auction depends on your risk tolerance and expertise.

If you conduct yourself as a serious investor truly looking to work with that PM than they will likely help you through the process, especially if you use them as an agent.

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.
