Hi Shaheen, rental properties often get hit with higher tax rates because local governments see them as commercial investments.

In my market the buyer's agency agreement form (previously required but not often enforced, and many agents waited until writing a contract for the buyer to get it signed, and is now more strictly required prior to any showings) already explained this.

I got to my current financial success through a series of well thought out endeavors but with a massive sink or swim element as I am often self guided..."

Often times, cheap is expensive!

In my experience those that go alone often times don't end up closing any deals because it's information overload and they're drinking out of a fire hydrant and don't have any guidance to tell them what to focus on.

Also, juggling multiple rehabs often means building a core team of reliable contractors and setting firm project timelines.
