But the NAR study includes Flat Fee MLS listings with agent listings, not with FSBO listings.2.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) the average flip makes $65k gross profit (before subtracting rehab costs, holding costs, etc) ,but only $15k net profit, (that's what you put to your pocket for all your risk and effort) and takes 6 months from purchase to selling.

Or, a FEW bad actors whose intention isn't even to wholesale, but to cloud title and then charge a fee in the future to uncloud title when the homeowner wants to transact.However, the anti-wholesaling movement, which is really outlawing wholesaling without a license, is being driven by NAR (national association of realtors) and NOT by consumer protection agencies.

I figured since people would still be close to their community, markets, shops, and restaurants, while capitalizing on much more affordable housing (on the Det side) investing there would be a win.

How about BPCon in San Diego coming up in September/October.Also you have company agnostic NAR conference every year.Depending on where you are there may also be a company agnostic State Assoc of Realtor Conference in your area/state....those can be good...depending on what your goal is.At KW we have two....giant 15000 person type 3 day conference called family reunion.....always has provided me more value than I put into it....but everyone is different...I got to every class I can fit in...some just go to party, so not sure if that is good value or not.   

According to a pwc report, the NAR says that the homeownership rate will drop to 60%.

NAR Commercial Market report lists multifamily average cap rate for Wenatchee, WA at 5.6% for Q1 2021. 

NAR is working hard against you as we speak.Good luck with that fight...And anyhow - this is the hardest, in terms of time commitment and effort, job in RE, and for the least amount compensation.

NAR was able to successfully lobby to get the capital gains exclusion to remain the same as it currently is, 2 out of the last 5 years. !

Can a licensed RE agent (not a Realtor) join (pay dues etc.) to a local MLS or do they have to join a local board or the NAR?
