Now rural counties and can be a little different but like Jonathan says every market basically has their players..

Make sure you choose a realtor who is used to travelling into your target community and not just engaging properties from behind a phone/computer screen.

The very fact that they are engaging in the business model of illegal brokerage is all you need to know.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

ouch....sure can understand why you didn't engage with them. 

I’m eager to learn, share insights, and collaborate with such a great group of professionals.Looking forward to engaging with you all!

Hello everyone,Imagine this topic would get more engagement in a Creative Financing space.

You'd have to do the research locally, market by market, to determine who the players are.

Yes we use AI for just that: follow up re-engagement and appointment setting.

I'll continue you to read on the forums I've learned so much in the little time I have engaged in the forum.
