As mentioned on the previous page, having an real estate professional with investing experience is imperative. They know what to look for and can weed out things that wont work (based off your parameters). They have insight to whats selling and for what price, in a specific area and how that fits into your potential project. During the process they can make recommendations for lenders, contractors, staging companies, etc.
If you are an experienced real estate investor the role of the agent will certainly be more hands off, so the previous experience isn’t as crucial. With that said, its still nice to work with someone who is on the same level as you.
