Take a quick google search of "mortgage calculator" and you'll be able to crunch the exact numbers on any mortgage within two minutes by filling out the appropriate information that accounts for all of the variables (different down payment scenarios, amortization timelines, etc.)You can even find an amortization calculator online and build it into an excel spreadsheet so you can automatically plug in those numbers when you run analyses on potential properties.

"investor friendly agent" means different things to different people depending on what side you're on, your experience, and your understanding of Real Estate.In my experience, an investor asking for an investor friendly agent says a lot about the investor - typically that investor is inexperienced and does not have a full understanding of the market they are in, or what the market demands and what it takes to do a deal, and they are hoping they find one of the many sucker agents out there who will spend ridiculous amounts of time writing unrealistic offers that are very unlikely to get accepted.A good agent is "investor friendly", and a good agent is going to provide accurate and appropriate advice and recommend their clients write realistic offers on properties that meet the required criteria and that actually have a chance of getting accepted.I am very "investor friendly" and I've done hundreds of transactions with investors - in fact, at least 99% of my career earnings has come from my work with investors - but I pick and choose who I work with, and I don't and won't write lowball unrealistic offers.
