Just connect with a good, active agent in your area and ask what's selling quickly.

My names Peyton and I'm a licensed Utah agent working to help investors find their next flip or rental.

I hire an agent, let them take over because they know their market and area better than me.

Not a red flag, usually this means the owner didn't have the property for very long, or are just lazy.I would try to squeeze the agent to ask if the seller can provide a list of improvements made on the property over their ownership if any.

Last part- Start networking with local investors and/or investor friendly agents near Newark who may have answers to the questions above.The only way to reduce risk is to educate yourself. 

@Edna SalinasPPR has a great reputation in the space.

I understand that I will have to disclose that I am licensed to the seller/agent/buyer.

About 6 years ago I started developing relationships with agents and prospecting out of state markets to find the best possible deals and cash flow.

All and all its about knowing your target clientele and catering to them.With your comment about the insurance agents, we had a 3 month stay becuase someone had issues with their plumbing in their own home.

Does your market use real estate agents for rentals?
