Respectfully,Lily Rodriguez -Investor friendly Agent

4) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!

Drive around to see which zip codes you see dumpsters and construction happening, look to see where permits are being pulled and which houses are going pending on MLS.Network with a local real estate agent who works primarily with investors soak up their knowledge.

Now the listing agent called and asked if we could do the same, our offer, the listing agent said is slightly higher but they want us to wave inspection and appraisal and we have time till tomorrow.

You don't know any other agents?

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out! 

I would recommend locating a good agent first. 

I'm based in NYC and looking to find an investment property in Philadelphia.Because of the distance, my agent is willing to visiting the property on behalf of me and sends me videos.He goes into each room and shows me with his commentary, which is helpful.Because I'm not onsite, I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding the neighborhood, atmosphere or details that I cannot find in the video.Would you have any tips to ask for, or pay attention to in terms of viewing property via video?

Too many to list . . .Self-managing for now Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I think PM makes the most sense because being an agent would require leaving the home more frequently.
