Meeting with a Realtor for the FIRST TIME as a new investor!
Morning all, I am meeting with a realtor for the first time tomorrow. I dont have a clear picture of what I am going to do yet, but I want to be (or at least sound) educated and knowledgeable. I'm a little nervous, but I think that's expected. I am reviewing all of the 'how tos' on communication and gaining what I want in the partnership, but most of my resources talk about what I need to ask the realtor and where I really need a guiding light is what kinds of questions they will ask me, and how to answer eloquently. Any advice? Thanks!

Finding an investment realtor is important but also make sure they are dedicated to working for you. My realtor isn't usually helping investors but she sends me whatever information I need almost instantaneously. MLS, tax/price history, sale comps, rental comps, etc.. This saves a tremendous amount of time when I need to analyze multiple properties and not waste days waiting to receive the correct information. I have analyzed enough properties to where I kind of know what I'm looking for now so I do not rely on her to find the deals for me but rather provide all the information I need.
