And again, I agree 500% with Don, agents have a fiduciary duty in advising their client and seeking the best possible financial outcome, which IS to put the listing on the MLS and let ALL investors see it and compete for it, and yes, there may be retail buyers too. 

One issue is the challenge of qualifying, as conventional loans will have DTI requirements, income requirements, loan size limits, and loan amount limits that investors looking to scale a portfolio run into as soon as the financial freedom snowball starts rolling.

@Andy GibsonMake sure you work with a fee-only financial planner who is a fiduciary.

Having a system tailored to real estate investing and doing everything I would want a bookkeeping system to do has made the financial information I have much more accurate and timely.

I come from the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community and have already reached my financial goals.

I am now looking for financial freedom here in Phoenix, Arizona.

I would suggest this going forward, getting a PM, like someone else mentioned.I hope you find a resolution to this but as previous comments have mentioned settling sounds like less of a financial loss than to pay an attorney and going forth with legal action.

We always do a 15-business-day inspection period and advise the seller that we will need access to the property, which usually takes 2 to 3 days to get our financial partners and contractors to the site.

I've been a silversmith for seventeen years but am really wanting a life and career shift that offers additional fulfillment and financial security.... no built-in retirement plans for us artists!

In my local REIA group I hear a lot of stories of people that talk about the amazing cash flow and ConC returns in the lower end properties, which sounds enticing from a financial perspective.
