    I am a Husband, Dad and business owner who believes you can achieve lifestyle and financial freedom through investing in real estate. I currently own a small portfolio of investment properties that has allowed me to make decisions in life free of financial constraints. This has been so beneficial to myself and my family that I want to help others do the same. Wether you are looking for a small investment property, commercial investment or single family home, I'd love to be a resource for you!

    Eli Kohorst is a Brainerd, MN agent rated 5.0 from 1 BiggerPockets member review.

    Hello, my name is Eli Kohorst. I am a licensed real estate agent with Realty Group in the Baxter Office. My mission is to help as many people as possible accomplish their real estate goals. Whether you are looking to buy or sell I would love the opportunity to earn your business. I live in Brainerd but I will travel statewide to make sure my clients have the representation they deserve. Prior to becoming a real estate agent I went to school at the University of Minnesota Duluth and served in the United States Air Force. I pride myself on providing my clients with expertise and professionalism. There is no deal too big or too small. As long as the deal helps my client accomplish their goals I am happy to help! Feel free to reach out anytime!

What do Brainerd agents specialize in?

The 3 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, mobile home parks, multi-family (2-4 units), multi-family (5+ units), primary residence, and single-family rental.

Do these agents cover Aitkin, Apple Valley, and Bloomington too?

Yes. Between them, the agents listed here also serve Aitkin, Apple Valley, Bloomington, Columbia Heights, Crosslake, Emily, Fridley, Golden Valley, Hackensack, Hopkins, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, Pine River, Remer, Saint Paul, and White Bear Lake. If your search is really greater Brainerd rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Crow Wing County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

Not all real estate agents know the features investors need when purchasing rental properties. Some real estate agents work primarily with buyers looking for a primary residence. These buyers have many different needs than real estate investors. Primary residence real estate agents focus on features primary homebuyers need for their family versus considering after-repair value, the local rental market, or renovation costs. An investor-friendly agent understands the business side of purchasing rental properties and will help investors find properties that not only meet their budget but also help them achieve their investment goals.
