But we realised we'd better rent the place we live in (in Barcelona) and invest our capital in a few units further away from Barcelona where the acquisition costs are way lower.

My clients know how I get paid and they realise the value that I bring to finding the right property for them.

You have to realise a realtor is not a contractor or inspector and does not know the costs or underlying condition of the home.

For Dick & Jane homeowner, who buy 1-3 properties in their lifetime, they can provide more value around negotiation, financing options, etc.Both of the above scenarios signal the need for fewer agents and a devaluation (or realisation depending on your thoughts about realtors) of the service they provide.However, those agents who can take a set of criteria and bring back a handful of viable candidate properties - many of which are not yet on the market - will continue to add value to Investors and will earn their commission (or consultation fees).  

This situation is more common in Ontario than most landlords realise.

Furthermore, after rereading the contract further I’ve realised the offer date and seller acceptance date IN the contract is dated 6 days ago, not 9 days ago as I previously mentioned, which was when the original offer was accepted.

Thanks for sharing@Cody Evans Lol yeah - if they read the Millionaire Next Door they'd realise that a athlete and a real estate investor are not related.

When you have read all of the posts on BIgger Pockets and watched all the material on Youtube and read all of the books on investing in real estate, come back with any questions that weren't answered for you and you will realise that the material to be mentored already exists.

That's what the courts do.Edit: I just realised $550 is your proposed rent raise on her.

I do realise I'm also a bit lucky to rent out with lower risk, and lucky that people still love their vacations :-)
