Does anyone have any recommendations of an investor-friendly realtor and a great property management company in the Washington DC and adjacent Maryland area? I'm looking to invest in that area for both cash-flowing properties and fix and flips. Thanks!

I can recommend a realtor who has helped me acquire 2 rental properties in the last 6 months. He's also an appraiser so he's a great resource to have when looking at properties in Howard and Baltimore counties. He's also a full-time realtor so he knows the area and is committed to working hard.

Hi @Ruth Lyons when I looked Jon up he isn't listed as a Baltimore City agent. Did he help you find properties in the city of Baltimore? Thanks for sharing your recommendation.

Thanks @Ruth Lyons! Baltimore area was on the radar for the not-too-distant future. If anyone else still has some info for someone in the DC area, I'd appreciate it.

If you intend to work with an agent (Realtor), I would suggest that you interview them as if you are a CEO of your corporation. Which you are as an investor.
Can the agent you interview answer these questions? If not, you should keep looking for a representative.
If you find a for sale by owner, FSBO, and it seems to be a good deal, ask your agent how do you intend to get paid?
How would your agent put together a "hybrid" offer, one that will make you a great profit.
If you find a property that is going to be auctioned, what would your agent do for you and how would he be paid?
How would your agent engineer owner financing offer? Would your agent know about "subordination, subject to, principal mortgage, interest only, seller participation, payment skip clause, discount early pay-off, fully assumable w/release of liability w/o qualification, substitution of collateral without pay-off upon sale."
Can your agent give you 10 ways to do a nothing down transaction? How is he getting paid.
Does he understand fiduciary buyers brokering?
Can he represent you with tax sales?
Knowledge of Delayed settlement, assignments, joint ventures, 100% formula?
How would your agent represent you with expired listings?
If your agent passes this test, hire him, if not, keep interviewing agents.
Let me know if you need the answers to those interviewing questions.
