NAR Lawsuit and Questions

Than this thing about the exclusive buyer agreement to me is great, and I don’t just say that from an agents prospective, people should be able to see in plain terms what services that can expect for what price and decide if that service is worth that to them, just like every other business, problem before is because seller was paying for buyers services it was opaque, now it will be written out in plain terms for everyone to see, the main result of this lawsuit was to put agents more in line with every other service business in America and increase the number of options for consumers, some agents might be paid more some will definitely get less, I think overall average commission’s come down, but again that’s how every other business operates people compete on price compete on service compete on relationships (I can get a better price with some subs because I’m a repeat customer who pays on time and is easy to deal with for instance) and than consumers can decide who that want to go with and once they decide to have that person working for them of course that person deserves to get paid for the time they put in.

Investment Dilemma: High Rent vs. Mortgage Payments in a City with Lower Wages

Talk to a local realtor who works with investors to see if $2600 is realistic for rent and who you'd be marketing to-likely a smaller tenant pool.Most people who rent fall into different categories-those who are just starting out and saving to buy their own home, those who move around and buying doesn't make sense and those who will never buy a home (either can't save the down payment, can't get approved for a mortgage or plain and simple don't want the responsibility of owning a home).
