Hey Olu,As a long term holder in the DMV area, I would lean towards cashing out to a % of comfortable cashflow and moving on to expanding your portfolio.

I'm comfortable with the value i provide as a buyers agent so it doesn't bother me.The other buyer broker agreement is a standard one that people sign usually for 60-90 days and it includes land, multi, mixed use etc etc.Your document may differ slightly but ours isSection 1.

I’m eager to learn from all of you and grow my knowledge in real estate investing.My aim is to connect with others and generate additional income while working my 9-5, ultimately securing financial comfort and stability.

Needless to say, that killed the deal.So yes, in today's environment you need some value add strategy if you expect to have some net positive cash flow at the end.

Get out of your comfort zone.

I personally wasn’t comfortable handing over the management of the claim process to someone else.

The brokers, more interested in doing a deal, would normally tell me to cross out what I didn’t like and write in whatever made me comfortable.

Feel free to comment on this form or DM me if that's more comfortable for you.

With some of your concerns I'm wondering if they are a good fit for you and if you're feeling comfortable, or if self-managing would be a better option. 

They can quickly do some mental math to see if they are comfortable "losing" 15% of their usual revenue.
