I can’t speak for other cities, but I have a handful of investor clients from NYC looking and buying over here in Rochester! 

Charming, smaller coastal towns with a slower pace of life, natural amenities, seclusion and semi-self sustainability are high on the wish list of many high level clients and investors. 

I closed 6 land deals  for my clients already in December alone..

If not, it’s likely going to be difficult.

You CAN limit that agreement to a specific property; but, as others have stated, agents are looking for a certain amount of loyalty from their clients.If an agent gets vibes from a prospective client that indicates that they want to cheapskate and not pay a professional for their service, they are not likely to waste their time with them.

You set your own payment terms with YOUR client and then find funding for them.The Capital Syndicate is a private lender firm that offers financing through their own company, but they also provide you with a list of about 150 other private lenders. 

Here's the problem: They are not a sustainable asset for most to own; they are difficult and costly assets to exit through a sale; if you achieve favorable refinances, you may be able to use those funds to buy other (hopefully better assets) but are now faced with operating highly leveraged bad assets. 

Some people are growth-minded, which means they are willing to help for a low cost, or not much compensation knowing that the more conversations they have will lead to more clients.

We've successfully delivered over 550 investment properties to over 180 clients worldwide following this process, and:Over 90% of clients have invested with us repeatedly, showing they are happy with their investments.Our average tenant stays over five years.2008 crash - Zero decline in rent and zero vacancies.COVID - Almost no impactEviction moratorium - Almost no impactFrom 2013 through 2023, the annual appreciation and rent growth rates were over 10% and 8%, respectively.Jonathan, I hope this helps.

It sounds like the 2 BR floor plan makes this process even more difficult.
