Hi @Chen Avnery I've been a land broker in Southern California for fifteen years and before that I was a subdivision title officer for seven years. 

What follows is my general understating, as a layman,  and personal opinion.The most obvious thing is not to misrepresent yourself as agent or broker, as someone who represents anyone in the transaction.

Hey Tim, not a CPA but I am a broker here in Sacramento and I manage 100+ STR properties.

As the broker of Investing N Florida, I frequently encounter clients who prefer to wait for interest rates to decrease before purchasing a home.

. - Creative and local financing : As a licensed and active Real Estate Broker in Oregon and California I can tell you there is a comparitively abnormal amount of seller carry or owner financing available on properties for sale and prospective 1031X prospects in Oregon.

@Sean O'Keefe not sure about KS or CA, but in VA as long as you are a broker you can have an unlicensed person act as a property manager on your behalf as long as they are your employee.

Instead, in advance (by days generally), I sign documents needing a notary at the local Wells Fargo, then overnight mail or have a broker pick up the executed documents.

The winning bidder outbid him by more than $1M and well above broker whisper numbers.

Although Im only an insurance broker, I work closely with the homebuying industry and the stress is real!

U have weak buyers and weak brokers makes for a lot of sale fails.
