Consider dealing with the listing agent who is in direct contact with the owner. Bring another agent to the table means split commission not full.

For your first hire a PM and learn from them. Go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers. Call 5 ask them what they see expenses running per category per unit. What do they see them selling for per unit, what is the market occupancy rate. What are the market rents? Ask them if they know anything coming up for sale. Great way to pick up some good info and possibly a deal.

You can also search NARPM.org for the RMP (Residential Management Professional) and MPM (Master Property Manager) certified.

@Ariel G.

Those in the medical profession are interested in real estate as a way to get a better return on their money.

Boston is good esp student or medical housing. I grew up in Brighton.

A real estate CPA would be a good start. Amanda Han is one and active on BP.
