It seems like that would be more beneficial.  

I work for General Property Management; they are a great choice.

Walk score matters a lot, too.As a huge car tuner guy, I've learned to accept this & find this to be mutually beneficial for all.

I am still debating at this point whether it would, or would not be beneficial to make it a pool home.

With this information mind you can property inject yourself into the most beneficial part of the lifecycle giving you an upper hand over other bidders.

It would be beneficial to both me and the realtor, but not necessary, for the realtor to have worked with investors in the past or is currently an investor themselves.

@Amber TurnerThen you have the choice of going Freddie, or Fannie, whichever is more advantageous, if needed.Reminder that retirement accounts can be used for reserves, at 60% of value.Below is particular to your situation as you described it...Fannie:4% of unpaid principal balance for non-subject property investment properties.6 months of PITI for subject property. 

Does not make them a scammer just poor choice of assets and probably not nearly experienced enough in the asset class to understand what they are really like or what they are doing.. as they are brand new to the space.

If you are a cash buyer it makes your choice easier.
