@Mario MoralesI think this is a common question and the value that an agent will bring will vary by individual needs.

This duplex will most simulate TWO INDIVIDUAL HOUSES.  

I’m especially interested in residential rentals, STR's, or multifamily properties, but I’m open to exploring other areas as well.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, gain insights from experienced investors, and contribute however I can to this community.

If you take the individual investor model, you need to find a Whale.  

This is a fine needle to thread because at this size, you very quickly start competing with high net worth individuals who are seeking summer homes. 

I'm never in favor of government over stepping, but I can also see how desperate individuals can be taken advantage of during this tragedy. 

Granted, once I know you as an individual are tied to a transaction, then I can see what you have done in the past and any future transactions.

RUBS are illegal and individual meters is not feasible at this time. 

It forced me to reach out to developers, to engineers dozens of local builders and most important like minded individuals.

The Exclusive Right to Represent makes sense for prospective individual homebuyers, but for real estate investors, it seems unfair and limiting.
