I am detail oriented with a customer service background.

I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation of a quality investor oriented real estate agent? 

Viable rentals obey the formula:FMR * 0.5 - vacancies > mortgage fair market rents:- very community oriented 0.5:- is the 50% expense rule vacancies:- losses from standing vacant, community oriented mortgage:- purchase price, down payment & rate sensitiveThere some locations (eg: San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Ventura Cnty CA) where prices are thru the roof and it's impossible for a new investor to just buy-in.  

I have some school orientations for the kiddos, but I am posting my next meetup on BP and meetup.com (https://meetup.com/Real-Estate-Investing-Meetup-Niceville/) for the following Wednesday.

PS we are building a nice community right out next to Boring.. 282nd and Orient..  

Places that are more family-oriented (find these by school and store location) cater better to larger home buys with 3+ rooms and yards (although yards can be expensive to maintain.)Good luck. 

From a Market Standpoint - slight overabundance at the moment, due to some higher end student oriented properties that have come into the market over the last several years. 

I assume they're afraid their rug-rat will gnaw on the baseboards, and that's their risk).5.

I am goal oriented and very serious about this endeavor.

Eventually someone will believe you, or sweep under the rug their suspicions.
