Hi @Krystalea Nestle , yes, they are important and valuable. That is why I would like to connect and work with them. If they are investor-friendly, that is even better. I am just trying to reach out to realtors that I can call team members and collaborate with them. Thanks for your input.

@Aaron K. thanks for your comment. I am familiar with the DFW area and lived there for five years. That is actually why I focused on that area but I am not against other states as well. I am considering reaching out to realtors in different states. I actually liked the way you put it. On-paper-cash-flowing areas can be usually undesirable areas, and this is true for DFW too. That said, my expectation is not really high, but numbers need to match. I am not interested in negative cash flow although there may be a promise of appreciation. One correction for your comment is that I did not state I am not ready to close it. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Even when I find myself a deal, the realtor can be too slow to act and deals are gone in a day (because it was a good one). I think part of the problem is the hot seller market, which probably makes realtors preoccupied, not to mention inflated prices. All sellers are under the impression that they can get it sold at over asking price. Anyways, that is a different topic but as my original question implies, I am interested in building a functional system with realtors. I find investor-friendly ones are speaking the same language.

I was trying to find properties suitable for buy-and-hold but I am not against the BRRRR strategy as well. I just do not have experience in rehab so I thought my first purchase should be a safer bet, maybe a buy-and-hold. I focused mostly on the TX Dallas area but not against other areas.

Hello all. I am new to real estate investing. I am based in California and interested in out-of-state investments. I contacted realtors but they send me usual properties that are negative cash flowing. I could not buy anything yet despite my willingness. Here are my questions for experienced members:
- Should I find realtors who are also investors? Is this platform good for that purpose?
- Should I work with wholesalers?
- what is the best way to find opportunities for someone who works full time with a demanding job that leaves little time for me to explore (driving for dollars etc.)?
Any help is welcome. Thanks
