Looking for an agent that specializes in income producing residential properties.

My plan is to accumulate a few more similar deals and then refi them all when I'm ready to invest all of that money into a multi family property; but the deal has to produce enough cash flow to cover the difference and still produce solid cash flow on top of the added interest, etc. 

I don't plan to live on the property forever, but when I leave I'd like to have it stable and producing something if only a little as I move on to bigger (or smaller) things. 

All that said, my intuition tells me that the political inclination produces some of the NIMBY thinking that justifies some areas looking like a third world country. 

I chuckled, thanks for the humor.Unfortunately, three properties in 3 diverse states is unlikely to produce a single lawyer or even single firm who would charge reasonable rates for SFR budgets.

Kiyosaki's assertion work.I would say $100k of W-2 income, where the person qualifies as a 'real estate professional', and has enough RRE assets to produce a $100k/year tax loss would be the exception, not the rule, and would be hard to attain.

If the agent is acting as an intermediary, he/she will also likely do her best to ensure his/her buyer produces the highest bid so that buyer will secure the property.

I see too many investors evaluate an income producing property on the basis of cash flow alone and completely overlook equity from mortgage pay down and depreciation.

Commercial RE is largely valued on the income it produces. 

Investors and builders should be the target market for a contractor as they spend more money and have ongoing work as long as the contractor produces a quality product.
