They typically build life-long seller-lead businesses in their market and if you work with a few of the top-agents in multiple locales, you can likely get a good stream of leads going (constant new-business with various owners who might be interested).

We're now looking for another investment property...the market has shifted, interest rates are higher now, and there are many investors in our local market that have long ago snapped up the easy ones.Now, I'm continually listening to BP and other podcasts with the idea of figuring out how to create a good deal, instead of "finding" a good deal.Also, whether you're a real estate agent or an investor, remember that the market will change...the interest rates, rent rates, and who knows what else will change. 

@Chelsea Yanc 1) Find a rental application & lease that complies with all state and local laws2) Figure out a screening process, including pulling credit reports.
