Their salesmen calls you hounding you to buy so far they don’t have a great way to filter out opportunities at t seems.  

Look for agents with experience, local market knowledge, communication style, and connections to resources.

@Maria T., why are you looking to use preferred equity?  

My style of investing is take my time and buy properties in good shape, or if the property needs anything that I think will be a problem, I will go ahead and fix or replace before I rent it.

I love the Southern-style front porch.

Most court house buyers like me would never have even talk to the owner would have just went straight to eviction and ended up with a mess.. my style was to always knock on the door and talk to the person who lost the house.

Hey @Lisa T., so giving a shout out to @Mike Lambert who is pretty savvy investing south of the border.
