Without risking a bad review what do you have set in your checkout procedures?  

I cant tell you what to do , but investing in rentals over the long term has been great for me , some times there are more repairs , sometimes less , but thats just the nature of the business

We are about a year ahead of everyone else on our procedures.

We might not live like it, but we are interdependent on our environment and nature.

When I ask for reasons I get cost of living, quality of live, moderate climate, fresh water access, no natural disasters and moving back to where they were from.From what I can see the trend to the Midwest is steadily increasing, but by no means as big as moving south.

Take into account the duration of leases, the procedures for screening prospective renters, and the home regulations in order to guarantee a peaceful living space.It's critical to have a well-defined departure strategy.

I have already seen the new forms/addendums that will be used here in Arizona, the common one for this will be the Seller Compensation Addendum.The one thing that might happen in your discount buyer agent scenario is you might get a buyers agent who agrees to a lower commission and then the listing agent is offering a co-broke that is higher than he agreed to, well now that buyers agent will only be able to get paid the lower amount he agreed to and the listing agent will keep the remainder, so listing agents could end up getting paid more.As far as your question on what to pay an agent, I view it similarly to hiring an attorney, there are discount attorney's and they might be okay for some people in some circumstances, or if you know the proper procedures and deadlines then maybe you do it on your own without an attorney.

However, installation costs and procedures may vary, so it's worth getting quotes from both if you're not doing the work yourself.As a hard money lender specializing in fix and flip deals, I've seen successful investors use a mix of these sources to optimize their budgets while maintaining quality.

No, my calculations do not take into account natural disasters or acts of God, but it could tell you which towns would have the best chance of being rebuilt due to the desirability of their locations. 

Naturally, everybody looked at me like "what the hell is this?"
