Hey Jordan - well done getting rolling!

I'm happy to help with a handful of these in the Madison area.  I also have a handful of lenders I can recommend in the area.  And of course would be excited to help as an agent.

Here are some Madison-area recommendations:

CPA - Legacy Tax & Financial Services (Brandon Donkersgoed)

Attorney - Jason Greller - https://www.knollgreller.com/

Property Manager - https://kaderproperties.com/

Contractors & lenders - depends on what you're looking for.  Shoot me a message with more info and I can send info over or make an intro.

@Nate Sanow great points. The fiduciary responsibility as an agent is clear. 

I’m not interested in wholesaling but being able to offer 3 options depending on the sellers need:

1) I can buy this from you now to help you out of a bad situation. 
2) I can bring an investor to buy off market. 
3) I can list for you and help you get top dollar. 

Do you still see potential conflict of interest there?

Hello BP agents!

Who out there is building their sales business by stacking on top of their investment business?

Listing the deals that aren't a fit for off-market  - either bc of the seller's situation or fit for your portfolio?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Help me settle this debate.  Your agent rolls up in a:

1) $100k Tesla
2) 2018 Corolla 
3) 2005 Tacoma

Do you care?

Does one inspire confidence or trust?

What do yall think?

I'm in Madison and have run into similar regulations in the area.  I have friends who obey the "spirit of the law" by only taking one booking within 7 days. This is what some of these other listings may be doing.  It is frustrating when you're seeking to comply but others aren't playing by the rules.  You could report these if you'd like.

@Tracy Streich @Kyle J. I appreciate the feedback.  I like simplicity, so I'll take your advice!

Does anyone pay a tenant to handle small maintenance issues? What is an arrangement that works well?
