Some investors add value by physical improvements (rehabbers), others add value by negotiating good deals (wholesalers), others add value by improving management (turnaround teams).

Put the shoe on the other foot @Lee Self  no matter the price point are you going to go look at 20 or 30 houses do physical inspections and then report back to some buyer who may then just go buy a FSBO  lol...so to answer you question .. yes your understanding or expectations of ANY realtor is not reality in todays world of internet real estate.

It saves you money, but ensures you're compensated for all of the damages, not only to the physical building, but to personal contents that are considered "total loss" due to fire and smoke damage.You can start by either calling your insurance company and allowing them to refer a Fire Damage Restoration Specialist to you or...here's my favorite choice, find a specialist yourself through Google or people you know who have dealt with this before and like the company they used.

As the Supreme Court has noted, the ‘physical entry of the home is the chief evil against which the wording of the Fourth Amendment is directed.’”

We have agreed to start a partnership where I will handle the marketing and find the deals there in NE Oklahoma while he physically goes out to look at the houses and manages the wholesale or flip.

@Gavin Welch do they break even because they are not physically down there managing it themselves?

Expect to spend an hour to do the "physical" rental analysis that I suggested.

I have been running my own design consultancy in New York for about 6 years, my specialty being both digital design (corporate branding, business cards, logos, websites, social media, and other marketing material) to physical design and prototyping (lighting, toys, and other day to day products).
