  • Advice for finding a real estate agent to help with purchasing your first rental

    By Luciano Vizza - 11.12.24 1

    My wife and I want to buy a rental property but are having a hard time finding properties to purchase that make sense when looking at mortgages vs what we could charge for rent. We’d love to get the help of a realtor to help us navigate this and find an investment property. Do you have advice on how to find a realtor that will work well with real estate investors?

    Hey Luciano!

    First off, congrats to you and your wife for being curious about rental property investments. Also, I applaud your foresight in looking for a real estate agent who’s well-versed in rental property – that can make all the difference in your house hunt.

    I’d recommend finding an agent who holds Real Estate Investing (REI) certification from the National Association of REALTORS (NAR).

    This certification indicates the agent has taken additional coursework to understand the unique demands of rental property. Click here to find their directory, or contact your local NAR office for more information.
