Hello- Realtor or no Realtor?

My name is Amanda, from the Cleveland area ( Elyria, OH)  and I new to real estate investing. I have over 7 years experience as a landlord/tenant attorney 

I have starting to look for rental properties in the Lorain County area. Right now, I do not have a realtor, would you suggest that I get one? Also, if I do use a realtor, what would be the best way to find one that would that work well with investors? Thanks for your help!

What James said above. I think it's vital to have a good realtor on your side. Check out the learn tab above^. The article will give you a breakdown of the "team members" you will most likely need to get started. While some of us don't need all of them right away, I'm sure that most will agree that some of them are a necessity. Unless, of course, you get your RE license and are familiar with the market you are looking to invest in(then you can be your own realtor!)

Read up Amanda, I'm a newbie too and I've been on this site religiously for 2 months and haven't began to even began to put a dent into the amount of content on this site!

I feel as if you've come to the best place!

What are your goals?

Good luck,

Keep in touch

James
