I trust Ann, but don’t know if, while it’s listed for sale with her, if I can rent it through my present MC without some backlash from them.I prefer to continue seeing houses with Ann: we’re sort of friends, I think she knows what she’s doing, she rescued the purchase years ago, and I’m confident she will protect me as far as she can, as long as I remember HER loyalties to her broker, to herself, to the seller, and then to me.

Since the homeowner has several options to consider and competingconsiderations in a short sale transaction, it is best for the listing agent tohave undivided loyalty to the homeowner.

When I owned a brokerage I saw many an agent brought to tears over this exact scenario..with investors its even worse.. there is no loyalty they just want a deal.

What kind of loyalty do you think develops in the minds’ of people that look to me for protection?

Business is business but so is loyalty and a bird in the hand.

Hi Thomas,I think your numbers became messed up somewhere.It's good to not include coin laundry as that fluctuates up and down in residuals versus the flat rent.549 X 4 =2,196 a month X 12 = 26,352 yearly so correct there as long as you have verified this is market rent with no security deposit concessions or first months rent half or off to get the tenant in.Next I would look at tenant loyalty.

The bonus that their loyalty to the owners that treat them well is equally strong.  

Our creativity is fueled by innovation, loyalty.
