Good real estate properties earn steady rental incomes and offer profits if you eventually sell. These diamonds in the rough are critical in building a profitable real estate portfolio.

Of course, working with a real estate agent is the most efficient way to find these properties. But a typical agent won’t have the unique expertise needed to work with investors. What you’ll need is an investor-friendly real estate agent.

An investor-friendly agent uses their intimate understanding of local markets, financial metrics, and investing business models to help you find great deals with high profit potential.

However, most real estate agents work with general homebuyers. Make sure you prioritize agents with experience in the properties you’re looking for, like Evernest’s team of seasoned, investor-friendly agents in Richmond and beyond.
