Ive been in many residential transactions where there is 1 party being represented by an agent, and 1 unrepresented.

But again...at WHAT point does "flat rate" billing cross over into fraud? 

I believe we’d also need to cross-collateralize our 2 existing properties (Florida and Virginia) as part of this.

Even if it is right on the border of another city. 

Give criminals crossing the border free everything. 

The agents I know that close a lot, often times become a dual agent in the transaction or already have an agent with a buyer lined up. 

Purchase price: $75,250 Cash invested: $30,000 Purchased via rooftsock, simple transaction What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Any other things I need to consider in this type of transaction tax-wise or compliance-wise?

Quality absolutely matters in purchase transactions, and cheapest isnt alwasy best.Last point, a good lender will take time to understand your situation and goals and will work with you to identify a strategy and timeline using your available options.

My practice is primarily focused on real estate investors and their various transactions.
