It’s always helpful to know where you are, so those in that area can respond, this board is watched by people, including agents from all over the country as well as other countries.
Are there any sites that list these in a region (for free?) I’ve yet to find them!
I was lucky enough to find a good RE Agent who calls me every couple of weeks with a great deal, usually a forclosue or a house that is going to be listed but isn’t advertised yet. I used to just contact the listing agent on all properties but since i found him, I use him exclusivly. I think calling the listing agents on several homes, looking at the house and talking to the agent would be helpful. Let them know what you are trying to do with RE investing and see if they are open to being your go-to person. If they suck, move on to another agent and keep going until you find the right one.
