I have to agree, every member of the team is really important.I do feel the most important person is a real estate agent that is willing and able to work with you as an investor.It takes a different kind of skill set to deal with investors.Most agents are used to selling based on getting the client emotionally attached to a property and are willing to stretch and compromise.Investors care about the numbers, location, how it fits in their portfolio, how quick they can view, etc...Plus investors are on the hunt for deals, so it is sort of an open relationship.Michael P Currie
