Found this deal via a real estate agent.

However, I am an investor and agent here in Minnesota.

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Worked with a real estate agent in the area.

From Brooklyn to Florida and Mississippi, your expertise as an investor, agent, and designer is impressive.We’re excited to have you here and look forward to learning from your experiences as you work to change lives through real estate.

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks

I have no attorney, agent. 

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

I felt I had a good head start since I was already a real estate agent and was very comfortable with finding comps and figuring out the ARV.
