Wishing all speed to you with your goals and dreams my friend.

I am getting started with REO investing but do not have access to the MLS, I need an agent or broker that would be willing to run an MLS search for me. I need a list of active and sold properties for the past 90 days ...

My friends are sick of me, and while I taught them a thing or two, I feel I need to move on.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent, friendly, and fair/reasonably priced handyman (or contractor) who could help with this?

I'm an investor friendly agent - so if you need help with a purchase, or even if you want to just meet for lunch - give me a holler.

I go to Norfolk frequently for work (DoD civilian) and would like to get to know this market. 

Remember, with pet odors replace what you can, but oil-based Kilz is your friend.   

Here are some other things that could go wrong which may cause failures:Unknown necessary repairs (i.e. sewer lines, roof, etc)Not having cash reserves to cover vacancies / major repairsUptick of crime / vandalism in neighborhoodVandalism of propertyInfestations (pests, other)Bad tenants / No tenants / tenant family issue impacting stay (i.e. death, divorce)Rezoning of school districts / Loss of accreditation of school district Insufficient Property Management (not addressing tenants concerns, no notification of repairs timely - causing further damage, etc)Not following market pricing on rental / raising rent to frequently or too much at onceLegal issues (i.e. tenants sue for injuries on property, taxation, etc) I think you get the idea.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an investor friendly realtor that works in the area?
