Does the brokerage take a portion of that 35% Opcity is receiving, on top of the 20% (or whatever) they usually get of the agent's commission?

@Alecia Loveless - what town in NH are you buying in? Happy to provide some input if you need any....... :)

Comparable sales from the MLS and off-market sales via the town's records. Lots of things to consider when buying land, I have a great P+S clause that covers you for pretty much everything if you need it.......

Woah! A lot to cover there! I'm up in the western White Mountains so can fill you in on this area and stuff to bear in mind on the items you alluded to....... just sent you a connection request.  :)

My dad's an engineer, my brother's an architect and I am patent pending on my first product, with 30+ other ideas behind it, but I also feel fortunate to have the sense of chutzpah to pull the trigger on deals and not get the deer-in-the-car-headlights syndrome. Others have alluded to this above and many new investors I talk to struggle with the action part....... life is short, get after it. In the words of extreme skier Andreas Fransson: "Live this life, live this chance, live what's here because here and now is the only thing that is!"

@Faith Garvia - happy to help you out up here in NH let's connect!

Nice one, @Timothy Walsh - glad you found BP, Josh, Brandon and co have done a great job of keeping it high-integrity and conveying the importance of doing the right thing! Feel free to reach out if you need input on deals, ideas and motivation etc - not an easy business but you can speed up your learning curve and avoid mistakes by aligning yourself with more experienced investors! Onward!  :)

Paul English at Ace Title in Manchester, Summit Title, too I think. I have investors down in the Keene area if it falls apart.......

I think the technical market term up here in NH is 'f-ing bananas', seriously! Lenders and appraisers have been more than inundated with this massive influx of buyers and Refi's. Unfortunately even if you find the lender an alternative appraiser, they are only allowed to pick from their pre-determined list, as opposed to one you provide for them. Certainly speak to the buyer's lender if you can and try some if the strategies mentioned above, if your P+S allows you to do so...... this is a highly irregular scenario we're seeing, even waaaayyyyyy up in Berlin!!

We have a huge influx of people buying in NH at the moment, obviously mostly short-term COVID-related, however I do feel this will be pretty sustained, now that so many people are questioning city life and have realized it IS possible to work from home, so why not do so in an incredibly beautiful place with hardly any crime and tons of outdoor activities? Internet and cell service can be spotty in our mountains and more rural areas, so always good to check on that early on in the acquisition process. I have three clients who have done well with AirBNB, with annual revenues from $30k-$60k on houses.......
