How to find interested realtors?

**MegaMx** · 05-25-2008, 12:55 AM

Hey guys,

I'm from Canada with a $500,000 budget to invest in some real estate in the US. I'm thinking about buying a couple of properties with 25% down on each and then renting out the property that should cover the mortgage and hang onto the property for a few years and then sell once the prices are higher again. Depending on how it goes I can always increase my budget significantly.

Few questions:
1) What's a good area to look at? (LA & California I know are generally good places)
2) What's the best way to find a realtor that's interested in finding these properties for me? I do my own homework and would do thorough research as well as fly down before I commit to anything but what's a good way of finding a realtor that's interested in these kind of investments?

Thanks!

Why not overnight rental properties.
This one example here ( http://www.isellsevier.com/128070/index.php ) brings $37,000 every year with a NET income before taxes at $6,000/year without to do anything...
Can you get any better?
