Networking with local investors, agents, and property managers will be key to your success.

I really trusted my agent and knew several people who had invested in Reno so I took the leap after trying and failing for years to buy my own home in really high cost cities where I lived (NYC, DC, SF Bay area). 

For example if the house is worth 400K, but they are willing to sell it for 375k because they are avoiding having to pay 25k in agent fees, then the bank can consider the equity gap as a down payment.

I reach out just to help as I'm a local agent/investor here in the area; and my focus is primarily on investment properties with my clients.

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.
