A good agent can help reduce your risk, and that may be worth the 3%.I do agree with Andrew, if your agent hasn't helped you find the deal, nor has he/she provided representation/consultation throughout this deal, you shouldn't feel obligated to provide a commission to them (pending what it says in your existing agreement, of course).

Any tips and recommendations are appreciated.

You can also buy a Landlord Forms package from Biggerpockets, me, or find one online and hope it's sufficient and legal.You don't need an app to manage your property.

Their prerogative of course, and I understand why a seller would be apprehensive of a buyer that hasn't set their own eyes on a property,  but does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to get them back talking with me?
