Changes in Buyer Behavior: If buyers are directly responsible for their agent’s commission, it could alter the way they approach negotiations.

You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

This cannot be altered in any way and is reflected in the online bid therefore becoming part of the net. 

This offer is no commission but $20k under list, this offer has a $20k commission at list, this offer is a $25k commission and $10k over list...I am curious to see how our brokerage agreements are altered by the associations.I am also curious if the media's misinterpretation of the settlement will kill our spring market as sellers will wait till mid-July to list thinking the previous commission structure has been banned.

You may want to check out the code of ethics, ARS, and commissioner's standards to see how they may alter your current way of handling buy/sell business and investments.

I am still waiting on Latchel to explain why they seem to be ok with a "Preferred Vendor" middleman (who pays to be assigned work by Latchel as an FYI) materially altering a subcontractor's invoice for repairs at one of my properties. 

It would have been cheaper had I not made alterations.

Technically, if you're doing a level 2 alteration I don't think you NEED to do this, but it will save you some grief from the building department. 

You must alter and change your mindset to actually see.

I've done a few Level 2 Alterations (Chapter 7) in southern Wake County and would recommend that you talk to your local planning and zoning department before jumping in, regardless of where you are (Wake, Harnett, Johnston counties.)
