I'm a Real Estate Agent, looking to connect with other investors and realtors.

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

BiggerPockets is a great place to find featured agents experienced with long-term rental investments—they can guide you to cash-flowing properties and connect you with resources like contractors and property managers.

When the house eventually sold, I contacted the buyers agent and explained it to him so he could be the hero with his clients and show them how they could save a bundle on their property taxes by appealing and getting that corrected!

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

Investors and agents often post when they need help with admin tasks or market research.

I remember going to a mortgage closing on a personal home decades ago and the closing agent pushed the 3 inch stack of papers over for signing and said:"This all says...

If the agent is working for a RE broker I would be writing that broker..

If you conduct yourself as a serious investor truly looking to work with that PM than they will likely help you through the process, especially if you use them as an agent.

All in all, this is exactly why you connect and establish a business relationship with an experienced investor-focused real estate agent who will shoot you straight.
