Pure love to all the agents out there, but I am interested in hearing investors´ thoughts on this one.I´m curious to hear experiences from out-of-state investors in regard to what they feel makes a real estate agent an investor-friendly agent.I have spoken to many "investor friendly" agents in multiple markets, and besides one who is an absolute beast (in the positive meaning of the word), I haven´t felt any difference in what an investor-friendly agent offers versus a regular real estate broker.So I´m curious to hear from out-of-state investors what their agent is doing for them that is different than just sourcing from the MLS and wholesalers.What are things you look for when interviewing an investor friendly agent?

This last one is really important and often overlooked, as I've seen MOA increase for a project that was mediocre on the profit and Cash-on-cash, but great on IRR, purely to keep a good construction crew busy so they don't all fade away while waiting for a slam dunk project. 

I am purely trying to learn more about real estate so that I can master this and know it like I know physical therapy.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

That said, from a pure usability standpoint if you have hot summers or cold winters you'll want to modify the room to be more thermally sound while maintaining good natural light for the interior space you'll be enclosing or cutting off.
