I never go through an agent w sub2 or wrap purchase.You need to work one on one with sellers, no agents.If it is listed, cut a check to title co for agent's commission IF it closes.NEVER trust agents for payoff of mortgage info, call the bank with the seller to get that info.NEVER pay directly to seller, pay to title co and have the title co pay seller.Deed goes to your name.This deal is THIN. no real equity.

If you had your retirement funds in conventional stocks/bonds, diversified for age appropriate retiree, the recommend a higher proportion w/ age into the bonds making 3-5% APR and less in the stocks making 7-8% average over decades....then they say "it's safe to plan to live on 3-4% withdrawals"..... in any given year.

Is it ethical for agents to take a 5% to 7% cut?  

Any references for agents who can do multi state commercial?

@Doug Leedy If you want to go national, start making a name for yourself in the various Facebook groups for agents (some have over 50k members).

I believe Alabama has just passed some more legislation that makes it harder for Agents to pass on off market deals to buyers.
