Very different answers to your question depending on the answer to this one.If for a career path, I would agree with @Michael K Gallagher and find a brokerage that is actively doing deals, has a property management division in house, and has brokers covering each of the key market segments - multi-family, retail, office, industrial and land.

Similarly, you cannot go into Barnes and Noble and buy books, scan them and welcome the world to view them, read them, download them from your "open source" website. 

The housing office will then either approve the rent amount or tell me I have to lower it based on the tenant.

2 Years ago today, instead of renting a studio apartment, I bought this 3/2 single famliy house in Apopka, Florida, rented out the 3 rooms and converted the office into my bedroom.

In fact, across the board, out of town investors are buying at *negative returns* which is making it absolutely impossible for savvy, educated investors to even get their foots in the door.

Sounds like the rate you got by buying down a point would also be in line with what we offer as long as credit and the appropriate amount of liquidity are there. 

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what's appropriate/realistic to include in buy box requirements when working with RE Investor agents.

I stopped buying in southern AB almost 2 years ago now. 

Happy to help if you are looking to do long term buy and hold and I have another agent with us that could certainly help if you are looking at doing some flipping.

It's also worth mentioning that it's better to consult the CPA BEFORE you make a major decision (buying, selling, converting to rental, etc), since that's when you still have the opportunity to strategize and structure the transaction in the most tax-advantageous way.
