Sammy Lyon Why would a seller pay a buyer’s agent??
25 October 2024 | 12 replies
With $175k, their buying power is now only $875,000 with 20% down.($175,000 / 20% = $875,000)Of course, the buyer can put less than 20% down and pay private mortgage insurance, but let’s say they really want to put 20% down.As a seller, you have now reduced the pool of buyers who can pay $1M for your home since the buyer needs to save more money to reach a $1M purchase price.So, would you rather make $875k and “save” money on commission, or make $975k and just pay their agent?
Tony Thomas Is there any benefit to starting my own property management company?
23 October 2024 | 7 replies
Hey @Tony Thomas, I won't speak to the tax side (not a tax pro) but from a bookkeeping perspective, this will complicate your operations (and, bookkeeping as a result) quite a bit.So, ensure you have super powerful incentives from an REI-savvy attorney and an REI-savvy tax advisor prior to making this move.Some of our Clients have implemented this in the past (prior to working with us) and their businesses weren't large enough to justify the complications that come with this type of structure.Hope that helps!
