When a seller refuses to pay the commission, then the investors MAY agree to pay up to 3%.I understand that the NAR requirements stipulate at least two forms or documents disclosing buyer agent compensation to both parties.I’m just concerned that we might be in a pickle in this process.

To form and LLC, nope. 

Quote from @Brandon Rush: Hey team,I'm looking into buying a property in ATL and using it as a Padsplit because I love the potential to make greater returns with their rent-by-the-room model.The big hesitation for me is that they screen and place tenants, but don't manage evictions. 

We're trying to decide between forming the LLC in Ohio or Wyoming.We've heard Wyoming offers stronger anonymity with lower costs, while Ohio might provide specific benefits for in-state real estate.Can someone please elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of each state for our situation?

I was using Pricelabs for my portfolio but after awhile I realized that it's better for me and my staff to review the MTR prices monthly and adjusting them as needed instead of using a dynamic pricing tool. 

If a company is unwilling to provide this information it would immediately throw a flag for me and create distrust. 

I’m forming an LLC to purchase these investments and plan to use commercial or portfolio lending.I’d like to avoid properties with HOAs, large multi-family units, or extensive renovation needs, and I’m primarily interested in properties with good appreciation potential.

It’s not really enough for me to be comfortable leaving my full time job so I’d like to learn how to use the equity tied up in these properties to scale up & get to where I want to be asap. 

When I was investing, this is what I did to help locate the right wholesaler - I would supply them VERY specific details of what WORKS for me in the way of a property.

I do not put in price of labor because for me I will pay for good subs they are the key.3.
