In order to make money with real estate, it’s important for you as an investor to have several sources of leads. One important resource is your local real estate agent. Real estate agents have access to an important source of potential deals for an investor-the Multiple Listing Service. Because a realtor is the only person authorized to access this information, you’ll need to include them in your source of leads for potential deals.

As an investor, it may be difficult to work with a real estate agent. Agents prefer to work with homebuyers that have cash available for a down payment. They also like to work with homebuyers who have great credit and can qualify for a conventional loan. Agents prefer to earn their commission with the least amount of effort. Most real estate agents have little experience with creative real estate transactions. They are very receptive to unusual offers. Many agents treat an investor with no money down as someone not very serious.
