.- It's not profitable for them to search for under-market priced houses, figure out repairs needed or what other problem is pushing the price down and do even more for a newbie investor that has analysis-paralysis and may never buy anything.Some questions you'll want to share the answers to with any agent you choose:1) Are you paying cash or getting a mortgage?

@Nick Rutkowski Thanks for sharing this very painful experience. 

Thanks for sharing your story Nichole!

He's the guy who shared my interested and connected us, he wouldn't recommend him as a seller if he had bad experiences with his other properties.I did ask about other properties and he shared about a duplex for $200k, but I wouldn't be able to afford the down payment needed.He acknowledged the rent is low compared to the market and never mentioned that it's his "best" property.1) Agree, but if he's been a good tenant is that necessarily a problem?

Would love to connect and share the progress on both our journeys!
