I would say that the value he brings is finding the deals, doing an initial diligence, having a local team set up for renovations/repairs/property management as well as knowledge of the neighborhood.

Well, guess what?  

We specialize in helping investors access opportunities in both residential and commercial markets, leveraging our network and industry knowledge to identify high-potential deals.

We want to get a few rentals up and running and then (if all works well) begin bringing other friends/investors in to invest with us.

How, and why, do you select them?

It's a good time to review markets, but living in China there are a lot of other closer, international markets that could be options as well.

Need to know knowledge.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck! 

The real estate agents who are knowledgeable and doing a lot of deals each month will be the ones who can get you these accurate numbers.
