I've been a licensed Realtor in Vegas for over 10 years and worked with plenty of investors, so I do have some insights as to what I consider a worthy agent.

Any insight to give here? 

I have some insight on local home inspectors.

You become the expert in finding great deals and split the rent with the investor who puts up the money.Hope these ideas help.Good luck.

Tom Krol uses Carrot using this method)SEO (cheap if you do it yourself, not cheap if you hire out to a reputable proven SEO expert, not quick... in competitive markets be in it for the long-term... 6-12 months.

I can't say there's a book that gave me much insight on specifics, mostly because the structure of so many deals is based on the market that the property is in, and regulations change so often, a book of that nature would become obsolete fairly quickly.
