The PM is a representative of the owner.We do have a case that one of the tenants has paid in full the entire year's rent voluntarily, not from the demand of PM or owner.

Buyer decides to represent himself, buyer requests more details about a condo on RedFin, gets contacted by listing agent, LA and buyer meet at condo and do a walkthrough, buyer says where do I submit my offer, LA and broker both state your offer won’t be accepted unless you’re represented by a realtor, broker says you can use LA, buyer declines offer and says “I’ll have my realtor be in contact with you.

If this kitchen represents what is typical in your local rentals then make it clean and functional and get it rented.

They represented themselves as self-employed business person for house showing. 

For what it's worth, I think duplexes in Chattanooga represent a great starting point since it's still possible to buy them in stable areas in the 100 to 120k range and get rents at or above 1% of purchase price.

Not sure what $50k represents as a % of the overall purchase but I would take the whole amount as an option consideration.

And my Lovely wife was the listing agent and represented us on all the sales..

Not to get into too much detail, I had a transaction earlier this year where I represented the buy side, and that seller at the closing table had to write my buyer a check for $15k for not disclosing something that state law required them to. 

Many times, you are representing other people in what is likely the largest financial undertaking of their lives.

@Brielle Ford The question is, who are you representing?
