Without a buyer agent, the seller agent gets to be dual and doubles the commission.

The neighborhood is desirable, so renting it wouldn't be difficult but it would be niche because of its size (4/3, office, dual living rooms, game room).

I've seen asset protection plans with a land trust, that the beneficial interest is held by a personal property trust then a single member LLC, dual member LLC, c-Corp and then an offshore trust in the Isle of Man or Nevis.

Having your own buyer's agent is important especially in situations like this because a "dual agent" can't help you negotiate this issue or offer guidance because they work for both sides.

@Lior Solomon ,As a non-US citizen, but US Resident Alien, you would have to comply by those rules UNLESS you are considered dual status; however, I'll only explain that part if it applies.

Hello everyone,I began my real estate investment journey in 2016 while pursuing dual degrees—an MBA and a Master's in Computer Science. 

Were you a dual agent or solely represented yourself?

Will we be out of any money3. dual agency seems like a terrible idea, pros and cons4.

They are the ones that advocate for you, the sellers agent does not, nor can they really represent you if it is a dual agent situation.   

I was nervous about qualifying on the basis of dual incomes for example: one party leaves, 2nd party has trouble finding a new roommate and now I've got a situation on my hands for an undetermined duration.
