Normally seller pays buyer agent fees

If you desire to get it by all means go for it - knowledge is power - but thats knowledge you pay for that may or may not pay off for you.  

After paying 2% commission to a buyers agent(no sellers commission paid because I’m an agent and will list it) $12,500 we are looking at walking away with roughly $147,000, $73k each.

As an investor, I don't believe in ever paying retail.

Just started with a new employer that pays for housing, vehicle, and fuel.

Would you mind chatting a bit more with me?

When you put more money into furnishing, guests would likely pay a premium for it!

Timothy,You should never pay any upfront fees besides paying for the appraisal report.

I have decided to look into a heloc, I'm a bit newer into realest state investing, I have completed a couple of fix%flips this year, I currently use hard money for the purchase with 10% down and I cover 100% of the rehab, with that said even just doing a couple of homes at a time, I find myself around 200k out of pocket, I think it would be a bit easier on myself and wife if we utilized a heloc vs just cash, my primary should appraise around 1.1m and my mortgage is 640k, I'm looking at pulling about 250k for a heloc, I don't want to refi the home and cash out as I only want to pay interest on funds as I use them ( I know I won't always be using the heloc cash) Any advice or even knowledge for people in a similar situation, and anyone have a referral for a Heloc?

Would it break fair housing laws to say we are not willing to work with the program since it's not a source of income and they pay on their behalf?
