But as I have said before your  sand box is pretty cool and very hard to duplicate in most of the US.. but then again you play the hand your dealt and the money is made in real estate when you understand the very technical type transactions.. where the mass's just think of vanilla sales .. 

Commercial brokers will know more becasue they have to... they get the contract and hand it off and the deals i have done there i get inspection addendum's written by the attorneys and boy that is very dysfunctional.. no explanations as they are getting flat fee's and spend zero time doing what needs to be done to keep transactions together the little things the public does not see. but anyway thought provoking.... 100.00 and hour is a pittance to a seasoned agent.. don't see that flying.. but to a mid level or starter who comes from a back ground of getting paid by the hour..

Tour the property, show them the property, explain to them that the minimum requires are verfied with a background check and income verification that they pay for.

A professional is someone that conforms to technical and/or ethical standards of a profession.

My background is fix and flips (100+) and new construction.

A little background, I own about 9.4 acres in Hermitage, PA where I house hacked the property.

I'm sure there are some slight technical differences, they won't tell you about until it is time to deny the claim.

Background:  Late 30s, married with two young kids (4 and 2). 

Always make sure to adequately screen your tenants (background check, income verification, credit report, etc).2) In the context of House Hacking, with a SFH are you considering renting out by the room?
