You have to build a good personal profile to the attain business credit!

What if I am a part-time agent to qualify for the REP status via mainly RE agent activities (helping others in buying/selling houses) and then also have a couple of investment properties on the side that I manage myself to attain passive loss from those properties (via depreciation)? 

Thanks for the clarification. 

However, in practice, the broker always negotiates for the seller to pay this commission.Negotiation Tactics: Good brokers negotiate to ensure that the buyer is not out of pocket for their agent’s commission, aligning with common practices and making the process easier for the buyer.How to navigate this:Ask for Clarification: If you’re unsure or need reassurance, ask your broker to explain how the commission will be handled in your specific transaction.Review Agreements: Carefully review the buyer’s brokerage agreement and the purchase agreement to ensure that the commission details are clear and that the seller is covering the buyer’s agent commission as negotiated.

If buyer wants/demands access to a sellers property with 0 clarification/documentation to such, NO, buyers DO NOT have any right to such and pretending it's seller requiring such via fiduciary requirements is laughable as it's obviously at benefit of the buyer who refuses any declarative of status UNLESS sellers otherwise state and direct, which I have never known a seller to ever do, ever.  

The 'what you get' for the money factor is highly applicable from Brookings to Astoria and licensable STR coastal vacation rentals are still regularly attainable at workable terms, Luxury and oceanfront and lakefront properties tend to perform above the 10% of valuation in gross annual income for prime coastal STR's and as an example I've seen a $2.1 Million Oceanfront home produce $300k in gross annual income.

The longer the balloon the better if you think there's any chance it will be difficult to attain bank financing or if the terms of the seller's loan are good.

It sounds like you won't have any trouble qualifying..In Oregon there are some tenant laws that can restrict active CAP rates, but those with current market rents (or that can attain them near term) can approach double digit return rates.

@Bill B.Thanks for the clarification!
