Hey BiggerPockets,I'm interested in starting my real estate investing with small apartment buildings (around 5-12 units) in the Pittsburgh area but am having a tough time finding real estate agents who excel with these property types.Any suggestions on generating leads and finding agents who specialize in this apartment building size?

If they are in the major and popular market it naturally leads me to question the underlying assumptions.

I have noticed that many of the listings discuss having a lead paint certificate.

@Shefali Rai, your accountant will document your sale and subsequent purchases. 

Has Anyone successfully used a funnel to capture seller leads.

I would strongly advise against getting the loan originated in your name, and then transferring it subsequently to the LLC. 

Get your criteria on paper before you do another showing,  put it in the hands of everybody who views  (along with lead disclosure,  WA landlord tenant law,  fair housing poster,  and everything else I cannot remember you are required to give people who are viewing)  and send copies post-haste to anybody you already showed who is still interested.   4)  I don't think it is illegal to change your price after advertising  (clearly it is OK to reduce your price, if nobody is biting)  but if you have already taken applications it would be kinda sleazy to change the price on them,  and if you do, make darn sure you communicate  the same exact price change for EVERYONE who has already viewed or you could be hit with discrimination claims.  

How are you currently sourcing your leads?

So in other words, all I'd be doing is locking more of my own money that I can't use into in the house, while subsequently decreasing my cash flow to get any of it back.

It was a brand new countertop before they moved in and I don't want to settle for just a repair if it could possibly lead to compromising the countertop down the road.
