The other thing to think about is dual agency issues if you have your agent write the contract, since the agent won't be able to be a fiduciary to both sides.  

So I recently purchased a dual home - I live up top and rent out the bottom.

But, the closing attorneys can show you the loophole where you basically assign the contract to someone else, or do a dual closing. 

IF Seller Broker finds Buyer and everyone agrees to allow Seller Broker to represent both parties (known as "dual-agency")- Seller Broker keeps entire 6% commission.Dual-agency is illegal in many states, but not California. 

Hi all,IS it legal for one member of a dual member LLC to claim all of the income/pay all of the taxes on their tax returns.

I also like the dual air gauges that allow variable pressures.

To keep it as a SFR, we would save on a 2-story porch ($18k) as well as another kitchen ($12k) and a few other needs for multi unit.We could keep it as a 2 unit, but then we have to create a new wall to separate the units again, adjust the main staircase, do the 2 story porch along with a 2nd flr HVAC, dual water heaters & electrical, kitchen and maybe move and/or add a wall.

Now if you are not being represented by anyone and locate the property yourself, typically the selling agent will have an owner agree to dual agency and the agent can represent both sides.

Also, he thought me the value of not doing dual agency or buying properties from my clients. 90% of lawsuits in this county are from Real Estate.

Is this dual agency?
