Once residential properties are publicly listed on the MLS, they are overpriced. On the other hand, homes that have not yet been listed on the MLS are the "cream of the crop" homes (non-overpriced) that all real estate investors are competing for. Experienced investors already have a long-lasting relationship with real estate agents who will notify them before they notify me.

As a beginner real estate investor (multi-family, single-family), how am I supposed to overcome this hurdle? How can I find homes that are not overpriced? Where else can I find these properties outside of the MLS?

How will I know a good investment accountant and real estate accountant from a regular CPA who just claims to be? While I do understand that there’s a difference between an investment accountant and a real estate accountant, I am currently in the market for both. 

Is it still a good time to invest in real estate in Orlando and/or Tampa, particularly for house hacking duplexes? We are looking to move from NJ to FL and are first time home buyers AND real estate investors. 

I’m also having a hard time finding real estate agents who specialize in investment properties. Any suggestions or referrals?
