If lenders would consider a 2-3% buyers agent commission as part of the purchase price and LTV based on this (contract price + buyers agent commission) we can end this Byzantine step of the buyer’s agent having a separate agreement executed with the seller for the seller to offer to cover the buyers agent commission.  

I contacted the agent that had it listed for sale and sold, asking if their client was now renting the property? 

As a new real estate agent in Northern Virginia, I'm trying to make these connections, but my immediate thoughts and attemps just involve messaging these business and informing them I'm an agent and that if the respective family is in need of a realtor I'd be happy to work w/ them, but every time I do that, the response I get is "we already have a realtor" or "house was already sold or listed"........and a lot of times I am refresh to the post, so obviously I want to be "there" sooner so I can get the seller listing lead.

What are things I should take in to consideration on my first deal.Would love recommendations for investors friendly agents and property managers.Thanks!

Covered parking for 8 vehicles. any thoughts on agent or non-agent?

I want to keep away from any short cuts , I am not looking to take large cuts from sellers (I’m a true agent at heart and looking to serve my clients) .

Building a network of agents, contractors, and lenders who understand cash flowing rentals and the BRRRR model will be key as you continue to scale.

In state of OH can a real estate agent be a property manager too?

@Paul Bogard Any real estate agent who promotes themselves as an agent who is a specialist on renting out bedrooms should be moved to the bottom of the list of people to take real estate advice from..... 

You may have to pay an agent to make all these lowball offers, otherwise they may get tired of you wasting their time.3) What can you do to your current house to generate cashflow now or more in the future:- Finish the basement as a separate unit?
