Yes, we are very busy in our extremely active market but I couldn't image treating anyone like you've be so far.
I know in our office of 65 retail agents, most [all] don't like to deal with investor because they "low ball" and only buy low end properties and the commission is very low.
Your reasonable ROI goal of 7% can be done easily.
Have you selected a property manager yet? If not, you might want to get this done before you look at too many properties since the PM is the one that has to be on board to manage it for you.
PM if you'd like a few suggestions on PM to interview.
I'd be glad to setup some MLS searches for you as well - with no hang ups or foul language!
I also always have several rent ready, affordable, properties in good neighborhoods available off market.
Hi Shawn,
Many thanks for the response! Yes, I've got that feeling that Indy realtors deal with a very different kind of clients - that still doesn't excuse hanging up but at least may explain the reasons.
Normally, I would try to hook up with an agent or two and then come down, meet in person and maybe do some property shopping, and (normally) I would try to meet with the local property managers on the same trip, so I'd have at least one or two lined up and ready by the time we are in contract. Of course, things always happen and people change their minds etc. but at least that's the way I try to work. I wonder if you could send me a PM and maybe we could start from there!
Cheers
Alex
