I'm a licensed realtor in my market and have the ability to hire showing agents to open a secure box with a physical key that only other licensed professionals can access.

He is a real estate agent there and has started flipping heavily.

Have you contacted an independent agent there? 

We did not need help in deciding what our investment niche would be; we needed help in creating and implementing a tax strategy plan for a married couple composed of a high-income earner and a real estate agent and business owner.

Consider pre-loved appliances from reputable stores or online marketplaces.

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

Give it some time.Most of the properties you might be comparing them to are new builds from 2022 & 2023.Regarding your question, just have your agent put that option on there I know many investors who would be interested in seller financed deals 

I get offers all the time from agents wanting to learn commercial.

But then find an investment model that feels comfortable (house-hacking is the quickest way to amass properties), find an agent that knows that model, look at homes, run numbers and pull the trigger.The quicker you buy the first one, the quicker you can buy the second and third and onward.

Regardless you should make it a win for you and the agent but part of being an agent is taking video of many properties if needed.
