Hey! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account in order to find an investor friendly agent

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Go to the Search bar, and look for some local members in your area! Reach out to a few of the folks, perhaps those with hundreds or thousands of posts in this forum, and connect. You can do that here.

3) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market for real estate investors put together by Dave Meyer and available for all BiggerPockets members.

4) Use our agent finder and set up a meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! 

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

Hi Cory!

No experience in farms except I used to live in SD so I drove by a lot of them. Ha!

Wanted to reach out and say that you can go to our search function to try to sus out some previous posts on farm leases and see if anyone has posted about this in the past! 

Also, adding a profile picture to your account and filling out your full BP profile will help other like-minded investors know you're real and serious about your investment. 

Good luck!

This is a really useful conversation, thank you everyone! I would love to see your listings if you're willing to share :) 

My husband and I have a few STRs along 30A and are always looking for ways to improve our listings or align with our BP Competitors in the area!

@Andrew Simms - We do! For a whole house rental we leave a box of trash bags under the sink, a backup paper towel roll, 3-4 rolls of TP per bathroom, full jugs of shampoo/conditioner, and basic cleaning supplies. 

Of course it depends on your location and the nightly rate, but we haven't had an issue with theft at all and we attract quality guests (families, mostly). I'm sure we'd be approaching this differently if our houses weren't higher nightly prices!
