The drawback is build time.  

The draw back is that I live in southern California where we know the real estate market is crazy expensive requiring large down payment and overall low ROI in terms of cash flow.

Drawback is that the ferry commute (as of right now) is 45 min. to Seattle and does not run as often.

One of the drawbacks is that GV has to rely on an additional platform to receive incoming calls.

Moreover, there's more access to analysis tools like the full MLS application, etc.From my experience, the biggest drawback to being licensed is that many sellers stigmatize real estate agents as profiting off of their property.  

Only drawback is that the agent that you list needs to be hubzu registered.

What are the benefits and drawbacks to this?

Hi my business partner and I have a 2 family in OH.Having a devil of a time getting a cash out refi because the post rehab value is only about $75k.Decided to go another route ...My thoughts are to withdraw from the LLC and buy the property as an individual from my partner.My questions is should my partner sell it to me from the LLC or quit claim the deed to himself as a individual then sell it to me.Trying to determine tax obligations / benefits / drawbacks to both scenarios.

They are however; looking at some zoning changes and a General Plan change that would allow a boarding house on properties such as mine (it makes sense with unique location) the biggest drawback to any development in County is the new septic code that comes into effect at the end of May.
