In this option your agent would either get paid from you directly in your closing costs OR from the seller via seller concessions.like Russell said, if you are comfortable with the transaction and understand what you are signing and you don't need things explained and you have connections with inspections and title companies then go for it.

From my experience in the Netherlands and Spain, I can confirm that each country, and even specific cities, can have very different rules regarding taxes, financing, and zoning.For example:Taxes: In the Netherlands, rental income is not taxed directly but falls under wealth tax (Box 3), making it a unique opportunity for investors.

Fully fund IRAs and 401Ks7.Work less ("I think I earned it" ... a few good men)

Just make sure you take your policy to the brokers so they can do a direct comparison.Maybe hit up your primary home insurer to see if they offer a STR policy.

FHA has a self-sufficiency rule that makes it difficult unless you put A TON OF MONEY down.

Once the city gives direction, then start to look at available options and penciling out the numbers to see what makes the most sense.  

Can anyone point me in a direction to start?

@Collin Luckett what your touching on for changing of buyer during pending is not a viable direction. 

What I would tell you is that as we built our portfolio we continued working our full time corporate (cubicle) jobs until we had 20 units (self-managing them along the way).

My question is can anyone point in the direction of someone who could represent me in this matter maybe a lawyer or attorney, or someone who knows the fire code and who can be clear and concise on what I need.
