I personally have nothing but nightmare and horror stories, not necessarily problems with the tenants, just problems with the procedures and the paperwork, poor communication from the HUD caseworker etc... 

We have since terminated the relationship with this firm and have reinforced our standard operating procedures to lessen the likelihood of a similar occurrence.

I have already seen the new forms/addendums that will be used here in Arizona, the common one for this will be the Seller Compensation Addendum.The one thing that might happen in your discount buyer agent scenario is you might get a buyers agent who agrees to a lower commission and then the listing agent is offering a co-broke that is higher than he agreed to, well now that buyers agent will only be able to get paid the lower amount he agreed to and the listing agent will keep the remainder, so listing agents could end up getting paid more.As far as your question on what to pay an agent, I view it similarly to hiring an attorney, there are discount attorney's and they might be okay for some people in some circumstances, or if you know the proper procedures and deadlines then maybe you do it on your own without an attorney.

The rules and procedures of your operating agreement and your ability to follow the agreement is far more important than the actual state specific filing docs.

When your documentation is thorough and all procedures are correctly followed, you can typically achieve a favorable outcome in having the tenants removed.I've done it many times with out the need for an attorney. 

Procedural errors will now be catastrophically expensive.What's going to happen is that many landlords and nearly all tenants won't know about the changes, so only a few landlords will get burned at first, and that amount will grow over time.
