@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.  

Glad to hear your concern is borne from actual education, not just parroting something in the press.

If you're not sure how to respond, perhaps Glenn Beck will address this issue on his program tonight, and you can just parrot his thoughts back to us tomorrow...

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. 

Old light fixtures and the switch on the ventilation fan is chewed by my parrots which could be dangerous.

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

Then that new investor will walk into a bank or to a coffee chat with a potential mentor and parrot back a line about how their house isn't an asset or they want to get their cash out of equity.
