@Yon Chung I have a few Cleveland contacts who can help you with financing commercial deals, I'll send you a DM.

Thanks Alexa,  that is exactly what I started doing, talking to my family and already have some help with them. 

@Saejin Chung It is possible to do the deal directly with the seller and cut the agent out but it depends on the contract that he signed with the agent and the wording within it.  

They're giving you money that Realogy is probably fronting on an affiliate deal, selling their own products at retail price and increasing their marketshare for Alexa homes. 

I'd definitely would want an Alexa with my shiney new pad. 

@Erica Chung As previous posters stated, real property is like kind with real property, so as long as you’re selling investment real property and buying investment real property, you should be fine.

Side I'm living in: New vinyl plank floor thru out, new LED cans in living room, every room painted, added wainscoting in living room (overkill), Ecobee T-stat w/ built in Alexa (free 4 being in the industry), fully rebuilt kitchen w/ added garbage disposal, dishwasher, new refrigerator, new wall mount microwave, new stove, all new cabinets and counters etc.

However, you may be able to use the ability to verify "Alex" as a reason to reject the applicant and ESA. 

By Kari Klaus, Founder of RealtySage.comIf you’ve upgraded your home in the past 10 years then you’ve probably added smart technology like NEST thermostats, or why you chose Alexa powered lights and Ring doorbells and likely some energy efficient or water saving features.

@Alexa AlcaideLook up what comparable rentals are going for in the area as each city/neighbourhood is different.
