Investor friendly real estate agent needed in Traverse City

Hey BP family,

My name is Lindsey and my wife and I are moving to Traverse City, MI this October. I am looking to pick up 2-3 properties near downtown and the college to turn into STRs. I am an agent myself (licensed in CA) and have a financial partner. I do not plan to get my license in MI right away as I am focusing on building an investment portfolio. 

I am looking for a seasoned investor friendly agent who can help me find solid investment properties. Preferably underutilized or in need of a value add. I am also open to distressed property owners and off market deals. If we can make it work on a deal, I think there will be a hand full more in 2023. We are motived and ready to make moves! DM me if you can help or have a connection to a professional. Thank you guys! 

Lindsey

@Lindsey Johnson great that you're starting to network now!

Recommend you start contacting all the big players in TC and make a list and stay on top of it.

    Hi Lindsey,

    I live in Traverse City, am a realtor, and have started (with my broker) working on property management, mostly downtown and east side of Traverse City.  Reach out if you'd like more info!

    @Lindsey Johnson if you have access to the MLS in TC then look for cash deals, properties sold that mention handyman or needs work in remarks. Also 2+ unit properties.

    The agents involved in those transactions probably deal with investors.

    @Drew Sygit , Great insight. Unfortunately my MLS access is limited to CA for the moment. I will see if I can connect with a local realtor to help me pull that info. Do you have a connection?

    Highly recommend connecting on FB with Sam Flamont.  He gives a great synopsis of the TC area market.  Usually funny.   He also started a local group, which I have not met with yet.
