That way they'll be able to look through their own investment lens to make sure you're buying a decent a deal.

@Len Leggette  I am still in search of a reliable realtor who understands my objectives. 

Homes photographed with a DSLR camera receive an average of 61% more views than homes captured with a non-professional lens.

I assume a wide angle lens, but not sure if you have any recs for a focal length?

If you filter every renovation decision through the lens of "what is the cheapest option that brings the most value?"

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any realtors in the Oklahoma City area who have a background in home construction or repair and are able to approach it through that lens to help identify all problems as early as possible to help with negotiations? 

Your agent sees the value of the property through the lens of the market.

I’m looking at it from a lens of a tenant since I’m not a landlord yet (have some flips going on now but that’s another discussion.)

I especially appreciate your analysis using CA as your lens!

Keep in mind I'm not a realtor or broker so I'm coming into this on the other side of the lens than many posters who have posted.
