He sounds like he's trying to help, and it's valuable to have MLS feeds and work with someone you can trust.I've worked with local agents who aren't investors, but they know my target neighborhoods extremely well.

I'm a native to the area and I'm targeting properties in Pinellas county for rehab or buy and holds.  

It is a huge relief not to have a huge loan hanging over us, we can flip some of the higher priced properties that would not meet our rent / ROI criteria and we will have the cash to hit our growth target for this year.  

@Brent M.Never used them, went on the web to sec of state office, searched for the name I wanted, found it open, went to irs and received a federal id, went back to state site, registered company name, then drove to county and registered, total time about an hour and cost $70.

It becomes a matter of target renters, I believe it was John Schaub who pointed out that 3/2 will attract families with lots of stuff who are less likely to move.

Contact me on BP or her at the following web-site. 

But I know short cutting really won't get my far and I realize I'll have to really do my own targeted marketing.

But before looking at that, you need to educate yourself thoroughly on what constitutes positive cash flow, what a good deal is, and what your target market is like.

This was an interesting practice since I discovered that I can get quite a bit of pretty accurate data from the web even before talking tot he seller.

What's the targeted time frame?
