Has anybody ever wholesaled with a real estate agent ?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I tried having real estate agents show the property to prospective tenants (wasn't comfortable giving folks access remotely) but they didn't make much money to they would flake as well.

@Eric Stewart no offense, but this is what happens when you don't do enough research before buying a rental and DIY managing.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/88/topics/1106522-1st-r...Why didn't your agent Collin educate you about all this? 

build a multifamily to rent. lower risk, easier to execute, easier to underwrite. anytime you sell there is a 10% equity loss and capital gains. new construction in columbus appreciates at 8.65% per year. almost no reason not to consider it. land is a buyer market, you can get to better locations than you can buy existing, etc etc etc 

Sounds like the agent might have made it up if you told them you didn't know.

You could, or the agent could explain how you arrived at the offer. 

Ohio comes up all the time, its real estate agents are everywhere talking it up, a lot of people seem invested in it especially from CA like myself, and i guess my question is.

The dispo agent has contact info on there.
