Most will help in this manner as the long term relationship far outweighs any extra effort for a remote investor.

@Michael Montana your goals and your why usually outweigh fear.

The real question is does one side outweigh the other in the change? 

I guess the question is, assuming you as the seller have all your stuff together, what other benefits does having a realtor represent you as a seller bring, and do they outweigh the commission savings of the flat fee listing service?

But that said I don’t think the good really outweighs the bad.

The cost of my medical treatments will always outweigh my financial advancements so I utilize a program like this to get by.  

@David Rosenhaus There are cons of course such as having to disclose you are a licensed realtor and a piece of paper showing it, BUT I honestly think the pros outweigh the cons.

That far outweighs "the bad" in my opinion.  

@Yonah Weiss honestly a cost seg would have to be pretty inexpensive for it to be worth it on a $500k property (with even less than that amount depreciable basis due to the land) since you're trading permanent dollars for what amounts to a timing difference...and in my experience cost segs are not cheap...I mean the analysis is largely driven by whether the rate of return you earn on your cash tax savings (driven of course by your individual marginal tax rate) due to accelerated depreciation will outweigh the cash outlay for the cost of the cost seg itself...I'm just not seeing the math working out on a $500k property even with bonus unless again the cost seg is super affordable...and in my experience "affordable cost seg" is an oxymoron.  

Even the general rule is not useful in many situations - it is well worth the cost of a 15 minute call to your CPA.Part of the $1m rule is due to the cost of a cost seg - not uncommon to run $5-10k, the time value of money benefit needs to outweigh this initial cost, because as originally discussed in this thread, this is all timing - you would have received the deduction eventually anyways.
