I have been looking on Craigslist and ZIllow but nothing is really catching my eye. 

I have my eye on a great deal, but the seller isn't willing to wait for conventional lending. 

I like having input from multiple people (my agent and PM, possibly contractor), but I also like that the PM would get the commission from the sale, and possibly have more incentive to keep an eye out for off-market deals for me etc.
