It is for Texas, but most likely applies to many, if not all of the states. Google it along with Washington State Real Estate Commission.

I do not know any specific realtors in your area, but many properties on the fanniemae web site qualify for 203k loans. Since this is a government sponsored web site/program, they will try to recommend realtors with experience in closing these deals. There is a link on the web site to find a realtor. The government makes it fairly easy to process deals for all involved, although bureaucratic - specific 203k experience is not really a requirement.
I would also recommend a google search using "203k realtor Marietta Georgia" and you should find some possibilities. A real estate agent is really about relationship - you have to feel comfortable. Contact some and get a gut feel for how you might work together. They may want a representation agreement - you can do this for a short period of time, or for several properties until you and the agent are comfortable with the working arrangement.

If ever planning to list it on MLS for sale/lease, a realtor has to disclose it to buyers. Also, a seller's disclosure is required - that question is on it. If anything is knowingly falsified on the Seller's disclosure, the buyer has recourse against the seller. If the realtor knows about it , and does not disclose it, the buyer has recourse against the realtor as well.
There may be a small market interested in buying that type of property, but it is likely to be an issue.

Post: OFF MARKET DEALS???

Off Market refers to properties traded among investors, and not on the MLS. Off market usually involves wholesaling in some flavor, or another where an investor puts a property under contract and assigns it to another for about a 5-7k profit, or dual closing where the wholesaler is closing on a purchase, and immediately selling it to another investor - the purpose being to make maximum profit without disclosing profit made.
Realtors can help you with both options, but primarily the ones listed on MLS. The sellers pay for realtor commissions when listed on the MLS, so it is basically no xtra cost to the buyer/investor!

It sounds like you may need a Realtor and/or new property manager to market the leases and select the right tenants. There is a slowdown on home purchases, but leases are up.
