On multiple occasions the sellers agent just shrugged her shoulders and said I don't know how this works or like I mentioned just played dumb.I would love to hear some opinions!  

There has been no previous occasion for this kind of downturn of economic activity.

I have done this on many occasions... we have a condo under contract right now that is worth $120k - with out any repairs.

Parking violations involve them parking in the other non related tenants spots also on way too many occasions, so I had to do something.

I think the answer in that occasion was 25% of the receiving agent's commission.But that may have been the standard for agents within that company/umbrella (e.g., REMax, that might have been it but I don't recall).My guess is that the true answer is that, like commissions in general, there is no "standard" and it's whatever you can negotiate.I'd recommend asking your current broker or, if you don't have a great relationship with them, the broker you end up moving your license under.

Whenever we have a house that comes up for rent on Zillow (or Realtor, on occasion), in short order these scammers clip our posts and put them up on Craigslist.

The strategy I am thinking we will focus on is mainly Buy and hold (As well as any modified versions of this (looking for cash flow and paying down mortgage and appreciation as main goals)) but flipping on occasion with Single family homes.

Can I help you prepare for any special occasion?

The reviews on here seem to be mostly positives as well.I have on occasion seen prices on RTR be higher than they are at the direct provider so don't know if they are marked up, typos, or the provider could have marked down. 

I've used a company called OwnUp on four different occasions for investment properties (all in NH) and I'm currently doing a refi on my home.
