Thanks @Victor Steffen, I was starting to think I was crazy! In those instances, did you disclose to the Seller's agent that you were buying for yourself, and did they take issue with splitting the commission with you given that you were also the Buyer? 

@Waylon Zook it seems like you lost out on $1,000 of easy money. ($1,500 before taxes)

@Waylon Zook in that scenario, did the Seller have a listing agent? If so, do you not feel that you missed out on an opportunity to earn half of their commission, regardless of the final sale price? 

@Waylon Zook but isn't it better to split the Seller Agent's commission and earn 3% on your purchase price, rather than 0%? I'd rather pay earned income tax on a commission than not earn anything at all. 

Question for all the licensed brokers and salespeople: Have you used your license to buy investment property for yourself? And has the Seller's Agent split their commission with you? It seems like a great way to make back some of the purchase price that you're paying. 

I guess we have to sit back and wait for the moratorium to end @Michael Gessner. It's frustrating when you're willing, ready and able to go!

Hi @Michael Gessner I'm trying to buy rentals for long-term holds. The flippers inflating the market are driving me crazy!

This is extremely helpful @Jeff Brower Thank you!

Hi Bob, by "success" I mean; someone does a mailing campaign and it leads to a property closing. To your point, it seems like it requires repeated efforts and different targeted mailing groups. 

Does anyone have any tips for a mailing campaign to find off-market properties? I've heard of it being done, but I've never met anyone who has had any success with it.
