Almost all of the investors I know are finding most of the properties they buy without the use of real estate agents. Today's podcast talks about how untrained real estate agents many times trash any type of creative deals other than those deals where the buyer is paying cash for each property. My suggestion is to find an agent who is also an investor themselves who are familiar doing seller financing transactions. Any agent who has blinders on and don't understand why the investor wants seller financing probably won't be of much value to those investors who do creative deals.
