There are plenty of veteran investor real estate agents in every market.

I am an out of state investor.

But I know that I've never seen a property sell at auction in our market that was any where near enough of a deal to really whole saleAlso- you're buying the house outright with cash, IF you found a killer deal then I think you'd actually have to close then re-sell to an investor.

I am a rookie investor looking to invest in SFH to hold as rentals long term.

If there are any investor-friendly realtors from the area, would love to connect.

A license does not make you an investor.

I'm a broker, but also an investor.

And it also depends on whether you are disabled or not.If you are just buying a home to live in and not invest, then I believe it's best to put at least 5% down if you can, since you won't need to save money for future down payments.As a general rule, as an investor, cash is king.
