If the change has occurred and buyers are now doing this, surprised not discussed more  You as the buyer is paying for the agents commission one way or another , either by a higher sales price , or by cutting a check to your agent . 

To me that reeks of someone that wants to do STR (which you do), but is trying to hid that fact behind a term that doesn't indicate what's being requested.To me, a "corporate lease" would mean someone wants to lease a unit for their business and put it under a company name, and not someone that's trying to lease to STR visitors.I need to make a cut-and-paste reply to this question like that dude who literally replies with a mile long message to everyone that asks about LLC.   

While the Fed looks to continue their trajectory of cutting short term rates, I suspect the mid and long points of the yield curve (particularly the 10 year, which is what most mortgages go off of) will stay elevated. 10 Yr treasury today is 4.4%, but if it goes up to 5% or 6%, your mortgage will likely be in the 8% or higher level, which then hits CF even more.

I doubt Cavaozs is on the cut list any time soon if ever.

Depends on your scenario exactly though, never one cut and dry answer to which is better.
