Multi-family is where it's at when it comes to investing and I would recommend you look at craigslist and other ways to procure property through owner financing before you look at an agent.If you are looking for an agent then search for real estate agents on BiggerPockets or just hope people can reply to your post with their recommendations.

You should research your ability to procure the capital before you start looking.

Is the Listing agent procuring a buyer and the seller paying both commissions2.

@Rich Weese Happy our team could help procure a buyer!

To me it seems like a waste of a perfectly good Saturday that could be spent doing other things to procure listings & buyers.

The real estate agents, like myself are asking about you working with a Realtor because of procuring cause.

@Jordan Decuir   I believe that would be considered a person who "procures or assists in procuring property to effect the sale, exchange, or lease of real estate". 

These are two different things; Lesse Fee is for procuring a tenant, the Management fee is for managing the property.

How about everyone provides their recommendation on books, blogs and podcasts and related material and then we use our local libraries and the net to procure them.I recently read Flipping houses for dummies by  Ralph Roberts and liked it very much. 

There is also a TAA lease that can be used if you are a member of the Texas Apartment Association and you do not have to own apartmentsThe state(Texas Real Estate Commission) does not procure a lease agreementThe general public can do whatever they want to do.
