You have to remember that this is a BUSINESS but you also have to remember that it takes relationship building to run a successful one. 

My question is, is it realistic to be successful operating only as a Listing Agent? 

Communication is the key to success!

@Nick Graziano I have had luck with both Capital one spark card and the chase ink card.They might deny you st first, just call and let them know you are a solid business.Cheers to your success!

There are plenty of ways and I have found the most success on Facebook investor group pages for the local and surrounding cities you are working in.Cheers to your success!

It makes sense how agents would tire of this and I would want to respect their time as I am new to the investing world and I would like to make low ball offers to ensure my first deal is a successful one.

@Carra StokesYou should seek someone in our area who you can meet and can see for your eyes and ears they are successful in their own right.

The rest is fluff, people promoting themselves, people who are desperately locked in a fantasy that they're big time successful real estate investor, or people who are no good at conveying complex information, or just people who should have the simple sense not to write half the posts they do.Send me a message.

If you want to message me on how I use VA’s and our success in several markets I would love to share.

The better the numbers, the more likely you are to have long-term success at the proper price points.
