Investing in multi family properties

So here's a thought that's been running through my mind the last cple of days. As wanting to now invest in multi families I attended a multi family webinar hosted by Josh (I recommend you watch or join next time). One of the things he mentioned was asking your local realtors to put your name on their list so that you can get leads that come their way. I did just that and after following that advise I have seen a couple I'm interested in especially in my area since it's a renters market. The thought I've had in mind is if we want to buy cheap how does buying from a realtor help? No offense to any I'm just trying to get a good insight on how this will work as not all good deals have to come through wholesale or sheriffs sale. If I'm buying a property from a realtor how can I determine the numbers make sense all around. I'd love to get feedback and read your thoughts.

    I would imagine he meant to use realtors as one of many avenues to find available properties. 

    Not sure why you can't figure the numbers if buying via realtors the same way buying any other way

    For me personally I just keep an updated list of houses and apts for rent and when they go over 30 days I call and see if they are interested in selling.
