Oh wow, thanks for the multiple suggestions.

For those that have multiple properties, do you have LLC's or an umbrella structured or just hold all in your personal name?

I would ask multiple owners to get several referrals that you could interview more closely.  

I have arranged financing for single tenant properties in TX and FL on multiple occasions.  

The cheaper the home, the more likely it is to sell fast and with multiple offers. 

Trying to wholesale mls properties is barking up the wrong tree, for multiple reasons.

Beware of splits you usually need one compressor(sorry if that is not the right word for it) per unit, in CA they won't let you share compressors between multiple units(at least in my regions).

Having an agent that specializes in one area is great if you are really set on being in that area and nowhere else but if you are open to multiple areas, you definitely want someone that can explain to you what goes on in those areas, what the rents are like, what kind of entertainment there is out there, what's the public transportation like, etc.

There is a psychological effect to knowing someone else wants what you want, and that tends to bring out multiple offers, so maybe your realtor is trying to counteract any effect there.

The real benefit as I see it comes from the ability to auto message and see all my calendar info with details on multiple platforms from a single location.
