Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

You might want to join groups or forums specifically for private lenders—BiggerPockets is obviously a great place, but local REI meetups or masterminds could also help.Also, consider sharing insights or case studies from deals you've done (if you're comfortable) to spark conversations.

@Paul Bogard going to assume you are buying this proeprty to live in while you "house hack".First, you should understand +95% of real estate agents ONLY know how to sell owner-occupied properties and are almost useless for investors:(Find an agent that has rental properties themself or can PROVE they've got successful repeat investor clients.Secondly, you can greatly improve your cashflow by renting out your other bedrooms.

Now we have to keep in mind there is always two sides to these deals and folks are innocent until concrete facts come out and they are proved guilty ..

Then, within that market, study areas where it is actually less expensive to own than it is to rent.  

Purchase Another Investment Property and Utilize a Cost Segregation Study:When you reinvest in a new investment property, you can perform a cost segregation study to accelerate depreciation.

@Harsh PoshtiThis will be dependent on the area and I would recommend you perform a market study to determine which project would yield better results and if either is even viable.

It would help if you studied how your home compares to others and ensured it is priced right.
