In Philadelphia I would check with the seller or agent if they have a lease, if they do a standard eviction can take anywhere from 3-6 months to go through the great court system we have.

I’d rather work with an investor friendly agent if that’s what I am trying to do than not.

I would work with an investor-friendly agent who focuses on cold-outreach methods like cold-calling, cold-texting, etc to bring you off-market deals.

You might start with the agent that listed the home for sale as they typically know the players.

Off market deal through my agent How did you finance this deal?

He didn't want it and I had a verbal from the listing agent saying seller would accept my offer.

@Stephanie Cortez You find the best deals by either going direct to seller or having a strong relationship with wholesalers/agents.

Hello Everyone,I'm a fairly new real estate agent in the Bay Area, CA.

Quote from @Asif Kabani: Honestly, the bar isn't set much higher by the majority of real estate agents.

It's crucial to find a trustworthy agent and then enlist a reliable company to manage the property, especially if you're not local.
