If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front.

2nd property, I think I'm leaning towards not partnering as the conventional loan interest advantage doesn't seem worth splitting all the profits.

You can always just increase the liability on your current carrier.
