One thing I am facing daily is buyers giving me their buy box and when I have something that fits, they tell me a completely different story.

I’m a new, investor‑friendly real estate agent in Jefferson County, NY, and I’m trying to get better at serving investors the right way...not just opening doors and writing offers.I’ve been spending more time physically walking properties and trying to really understand them beyond just listing photos and basic disclosures. 

Outlined the criteria I’m looking for below, which I think both these markets fit.

Ideally looking for lower rates without heavy points or closing costs.One important note — I need a lender who will underwrite off actual property performance, not AirDNA projections.Who are you all seeing that fits this?

Now I always ask one simple question before hiring: "Does an engineer physically walk my property?"
