(Hope to have this resolved by October)ADVANTAGES:*I'm nearly two years into a career as a Property Manager in a larger company (First stint as an Assistant Manager in a 22 building portfolio consisting of Class B to C properties and over 500 units, and was recently promoted to our Luxury, Class A division with 100 units in 2 buildings).

It allows investors to buy shares of high-value assets like real estate or luxury items without full ownership.Advantages of fractional ownership:Diversification: Spread your risk by owning fractions of various assets.Accessibility: High-value assets become accessible to more investors.Passive Income: Earn without actively managing the asset.Professional Management: Management companies handle maintenance and administration.Appreciation Potential: Assets can increase in value over time.

And you could theoretically rent one or more suites out (which will pay some or all of your monthly mortgage and expenses) while you fix up the other suite(s).

I plan on submitting claim forms for properties I've sold that fall within the "Settlement Class" as defined by the US District Courts as part of the class action suits against NAR.

You need a strategy that suits you. 

For example above $1M-2M might be capped or vice versa, luxury properties could come with a premium compensation plan since they are more difficult to market and transact. - In competitive markets for hot properties, how the buyer's broker is compensated will have a major impact on the option the seller chooses.

It sounds like you may not be suited to live among tenants, as you're probably going to hear some music at noon and you may have slammed some doors to make shelves fall on people's heads. 

But it's pretty easy to find a contractor that is good enough to do the job.If I was looking to do a little lipstick remodel, I have 4 or 5 contractors I could call who would all be a good fit.If I was looking to do a gut remodel, I have another 2 or 3 contractors I could call who could handle that job.When I'm doing a luxury spec, there are 5 or 6 contractors that I'm talking to for bids on those jobs before I pick the best fit.Finding a deal on the other hand... you can't just call up a deal and say you're ready.

. ;-)Attorney General’s legal action against Quality Loan Service results in payment to homeowners, delays foreclosures and stops deceptive practiceshttps://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/attorney-general-s... thanks for clarifying...if they were the players you had to contend with, i can see why the need for suit.

I was able to give them a warning, and was in a position to negotiate a purchase or refer them to someone who may be able to help them.I would explain their rights and what they could do to delay a foreclosure auction sale.They could:File a counter suit if they feel they have been wronged, that the bank did not credit payments on time.
