Purchase price: $245,000 Cash invested: $80,000 I served as the buyer's agent acquiring this property.

This is not unusual in the retail real estate agent world. 

I run Forged Home Buyers, a San Antonio wholesaling business, and my business partner is an agent with Virtus Realty. 

I have used avail.co in the past with great success but it appears this software and others no longer market on zillow which I know to provide a lot of leads in the past. 

@Austin BullThere are a lot of us here that are Investor Friendly Agents in the greater Phoenix metro.

I'll never stop investing in rentals though and providing properties for my investor friends.

This was a cost-effective way to meet our requirement of providing just a stove and refrigerator (we don’t include washers or dryers), without breaking the bank further.But here’s the twist: If we were upgrading appliances for a long-term tenant with a stellar payment history, we might invest in brand-new appliances.

You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

Is the agent bring you the end-buyer?  

I am a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri as well as looking for my first investment.
