I'm narrowed it down to a general area that I want to invest in multi family's. currently I search Zillow everyday in those areas and I did sum drive bys. What should be my next move ??... should I get a agent or should I get pre approved for a fha loan which I plan to use

 A good lender can refer you to a good agent in the area, and a good agent can refer you to a good lender. Either way. You may as well tear the band-aid off and start by finding the most competent professional you can in whichever of those two areas has you the most nervous, and trust their referral from there.
