But everyone basically signed those agreements late into the search right before an offer was made, and because the seller almost always paid, it wasn’t the traditional negotiation you’d have upfront with a seller, 2ndly while I do think this is a net win for the consumer, the idea that the doj “solved a problem that didn’t exist” 1st of all it wasn’t doj it was a jury in Missouri 2ndly the issue is regardless of impact on consumer’s they were almost certainly violating anti-trust law which is illegal lol, the publishing of commissions and the fact that something like 98% of all agents were paid between 2.5-3% was textbook, imagine if the price for a ritz and a motel 6 we’re basically the same, you’d think collusion right? 

Investing in a syndication or fund could be a good fit given your situation.I started investing in some fix and flips and some smaller residential properties from traditional BRRRs.

Meaning, they are not willing to:- sell their property off market- go into contract with a wholesaler- sell their property for a discount (i.e. they want 'top dollar')In cases like these, an agent can still assist the homeowner by helping them sell the traditional way.That said, wholesaling can be lucrative so I echo the advice you've received here - get out there and speak to people in the industry who are willing to share helpful information.All the best!

Hi folks, with Silicon Valley's push to try and automate traditional MFH property management, I'm curious if there's any providers you've heard of or tried that are also attacking the HOA/COA space as well? 

Hi AJ, Great info on sharing the lack of accessibility to traditional financing in Puerto Rico. 

Negative $2400/month but instead of shrinking which is traditional, the negative grows (goes more negative) slowly for 15 years.  

They've been good tenants but don't have any real means to qualify for buying the house in the traditional sense.

A traditional loan (Conventional or Govt) might be in within reach.

Hi Craig,I'd recommend Bank of Hawaii - it is the largest bank on the islands, and have a long traditional of being a solid, conservative bank.  

I'm particularly intrigued by your expertise in creative financing options outside of traditional banks.
