Now if I offered to represent the seller, and brought a (related or unrelated) buyer in the transaction, dual agency would kick in, in which case I dont tell any one anything unless it is material fact!

I have replaced electrical outlets before and have been doing low voltage for years.

Account ClosedI guess I wonder about a few things:1. benefits/tradeoffs to having one income vs dual income; do we take on debt for more education or just focus on debt reduction?

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.

@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.

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.  

They are all dual six income couples who feel that they are priced out.

Regardless of who pays any fees, if a contract is made, usually in those states requiring dual agency, that agent will then need to proceed as a dual agent as the seller is not represented and the agent can only represent the buyer when there is representation for the seller.
