Portfolio expansion is really defined as an increase in cash flow. 

When negotiating the listing agreement sellers and their agent agree on a commission rate as well as an “offer of cooperating compensation” or split.This “offer of cooperating compensation” defines how the commission will be split up between the agent for the seller (listing agent) and the agent for the buyer.

Consulting with both a real estate attorney and a licensed architect is crucial.The attorney can advise on the legal aspects of converting a cellar into a legal apartment, including zoning regulations, building codes, and the legalization process.The architect can assess the physical space, determine if it meets conversion requirements (ceiling height, egress, etc.), and create plans for a compliant renovation.The 2019 pilot program you mentioned wasn't permanent, and the high costs associated with it discouraged participation.

Along the way I have gained the knowledge to help my clients in all aspects of Real Estate.Buying a home can be both exciting and overwhelming.

@Sage Jankowitz ,From what you have described, I'd be shocked if you met the definition of a telemarketer as defined in the enacting legislation.If someone receives your call and complains, the FTC isn't likely to do anything about someone calling the owner of a property, one time, to see if they are interested in selling said property.

For most that's not a legitimate investment, and they define it as speculation.
