@George Allen  I build new construction in Oregon my last Lake O house I built I sold for 650k which is the very bottom of our marketI know they are here but I have just not been a party to a transasaction that they were the procuring or selling broker.. does not mean they are not big time.. just me.. and my 200 escrows a year.. have not seen them on one hud...

He didn't represent me well at all.The seller had his own listing agent.Interesting to read how some comments are harsh only on presumption.You had a buyer's agent that didn't help you procure rent documentation???  

I didn't procure the buyer or help in the completion of the transaction and I got paid for the work I did do on the buy sideSome of said that if you do not pay the 2% it may tarnish your relationship moving forward.  

Having no middle man to deal with places you in a superior advantage when procuring deals from wholesalers, owners, etc.  

Depending on how the Canadian investors are procured, usually Canadian securities laws specifically are disregarded because if you review NAASA, there is cooperation between the US and Canada. 

I buy on average 4 properties a month so procuring money is much simpler for me than it was in the beginning.

But since procuring this unit, it never performed in reality. we had civil fines, followed by an eviction and a $10,000 rehab(because the tenant has caused some serious damages) and continue to burn with expense of some or the other way...($500 / month -expense related to  swage line , appliance one or the other every month eating up the rent)wanted to see if any other investors having similar issues with Freedom group. 

For investors I will either put in the specific property address (for one-off representations) or something general like "all properties for which [insert brokerage name] is the procuring cause"

Turns out he is married and his wife was charged with "procurement of prostitution" in 2014 but it appears not convicted.

We also include Internet and "television" (along with a flatscreen television in each lounge/living room) in our offering and just bake it all into the rent.This does not mean that we do not monitor and endeavour to control resource consumption - we are always making improvements to the building envelope; have installed LED lighting; use low-flow plumbing fixtures; have programmable thermostats and our own building monitoring system.Our objective is to provide our student tenants with a quiet, healthy accommodations complete with all the needed amenities at a cost which is less than a residence room at the university itself.In that light, @Al Williamson is steering you in the right direction - provide them with amenities not at your cost, but at a cost less than they could procure the service themselves.
