Hello,I'm looking for an investor friendly realtor in Atlanta and possibly even a wholesaler. 

I'm building my team and are looking for recommendations for a great  experienced investor friendly and knowledgeable Realtor in Chicago Western/Northwestern suburbs. 

I want to continue down this path even more so now that I've moved back to LA from Denver, Colorado and keep making friends of the REI space.

So, I worked with some real estate agents to find distressed properties, found some cash buyers but still got no where, more so because the agents I worked with that claimed to be investor friendly knew nothing about wholesaling .

My friend had him down to a T.

While chatting with a friend today they brought my attention to discussions currently happening in the Oakland City Council that would be of interest to all of us with small multi-family properties in Oakland.  

Per a lot of articles trying to stick to the landlord friendly states, but I have heard good things on the forums about KC so looking at that as well.Will look for some meetups once I'm done with the above.Some of the resources I've been using to narrow down states in case someone else finds it useful:https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/in/indianapolis/... - Useful to get some high level info about crime rates, schools ... all the basics when selecting an area.

I moved out of my parents safety blanket when I was 18 and started my freshman year of college living in an apartment with my best friend from high school.

I have plenty of friends using money to fund their projects and really, have no idea where the funds are coming from.
