Since it sounds like there's plenty of fat on this deal, I would say do what she asks and do it right.

Without an Exclusive Buyer's Agent Agreement, I'd say that realtor is out like the fat kid in 5th grade dodge ball!

From attorneys (including Gene Trowbridge who I met this last weekend), due diligence engineers, GC's, 3rd party management companies, lenders, and "all the bits and pieces" you need for a successful syndication - not to mention the great broker contacts for sourcing deals!

@Gene Hacker - Thanks Gene, I've barely scratched the surface of reading of all the relevant archived topics so I'm sure I'll be returning many times.

The old chicks, fat chicks, and ugly chicks will say that it ain't so, but they are wrong.

A few of my favorite authors are: two of Lindahl's and Gene Trowdbridge books on multifamily.

Thanks for the input Gene Hacker .

They live there for the full year however, they have multiple other families/persons living there that you were never aware of that would in no way ever pass your screening test and put a horrible amount of excessive wear and tear on your property and you are none the wiser and because you are sitting on a fat pile of cash, you are happy, while your house is falling apart under your nose.

If they had Roth IRAs back then, I'd be in fat city now. 

I agree Gene.
