I'm a new real estate agent in the greater Orlando area that wants to specialize in helping investors find deals in my market. I feel like working with investors beats the pants off of knocking on doors. Any advice on where to begin?
I'd suggest checking out local REIA's in your area. I'd spend some time learning what investors consider a deal. For me, the houses you mention above, I wouldn't consider a deal. But I don't know your market, so maybe it would be considered a deal.
if you really want to help investors, you could do this in a few ways.
Work with wholesalers. Provide them market info, run comps etc. In return for your time, you could get referrals of home owners that they couldn't get under contract
You would work with rehabbers. If you are willing to provide discounted listings, rehabbers will be willing to use you as their listing agent when they sell to retail buyers. You will get repeat business.
Welcome to BP. Investors always looking for an investor friendly real estate agent that can get the job done. You should have an understanding with the investors who if you provide free comps that they must use you to close their deal.
