Hi Mike,Yes, you can submit an offer without a buyer's agent representing you, but the seller won't save any money as they already have an agreement to pay a certain commission to their agent, which that agent then splits with the buyer's agent.

Many of these markets are very well represented by sellers & turnkey operators here on BiggerPockets.

then you can represent your self in your transactions and then add up all these other activities.

Getting knowledge from someone with real-world experience is quite beneficial.Make contact with local brokers and real estate representatives.

However, he says he represents hundreds of exclusive buyers.

Especially in syndications, where often those touting # of doors may not even be the primary GP managing the deal and it may represent 1-2% ownership of those doors.

Their fees to do this is you pay them 3% of the ARV on the buy and 3% of the ARV on the sell to them (you have to let them represent you on the buy and sell but when you buy, their commission is still based on the ARV).This might be a great way to learn and make money at the same time. 

@Mike LambertThat is correct; I am an investor in the Riviera Maya, a licensed realtor (license number in profile), and a partner in a brokerage specializing in representing buyers.

Having "squatter rights" for NY residences is like having "shoplifter rights" in our stores.In the article you referenced, they talk about the squatter showing up to court representing himself.

My recommendation is that you also speak with a real estate attorney that regularly represents investors - you need a game plan going forward on how to structure your current and future investments.
