Depending on the size of the opportunity if someone local has skin in the game with you then you are actually operating as a local.

It's human nature (unfortunately).

You need to be personable, have great networking skills, be diligent, thick-skinned (lots of "no's on those cold calls), be capable when it comes to negotiating between seller and buyer.

well in note funds your going to have clunkers its just the nature of the business.. having been in the HML space since the mid 80s personally NO ONE bat's 100 .

Because if "the body" doesn't pay, we have to get "the body" out and it isn't fun times lolIt's important to build a large portfolio with B class or C class properties because there will always be something happening at any given moment IMO to 1 or 2 properties as I mentioned above.It's just the nature of the beast.I own a nice condo in Downtown Chicago since 2016.Tenant is a Crypto exec.Direct rent payment on the 29th of each month and haven't heard a "word" from him for many years.ROI is 3% tho lolA nice portfolio in the Midwest should deliver a net ROI year after year of 8% or so but it comes with more hassles.Anyone reading that wants to invest with us and only invest in 1 or 2 properties.Save yourself the hassle and us and don't invest 🙏Thanks ps.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

This should be interesting as better agents who have more business will naturally keep the firm at higher commissions, leaving less experienced agents with more low-priced business.Uninformed sellers will push back on including buyers commissions in the sales price resulting in less competition and lower prices on those homes.Uninformed buyers will self-sort out of the market unless they meet a great agent to explain their options.

Maybe something that appreciates 10% naturally year over year?

@Samson Tefera : I am surprised that no one mentioned "Nature's Miracle"!!!

I add 15% to the normal rent for a Air BNB tenant as they are leasing the property with no risk or skin in the game, and they are making a profit off your lease.
