I am fortunate to have an employer sponsor and subsequently fully fund my PR application. 

Michael is correct in that you need to ask the question of any broker you're interviewing regarding how they would handle you selling your own investment property and the subsequent commissions.I didn't become a Realtor specifically because I was interested in investing in real estate, but the ability to access anything that comes on the MLS immediately is certainly a benefit.

I'm thinking only if the wholesaler recorded their contract and a subsequent title search (post sale, of course) showed a different owner.

Subsequently, we departed Richmond to the Great Lands of Colorado Springs, CO!

(Actual %, friend is a realtor/manager, gives me a great rate on properties I buy through him if they're in a good area)10% Maintenance/Repairs -- ($165/mo.)NOI -- $12.4KCash Flow -- ~$40/mo.COC -- 3.5%Cap Rate -- 8.6%Total ROI (Including Principal Paydown) -- 45% in first year (goes up in subsequent years with additional principal pay down)I think I did well for a first buy.  

But wanted to get your thoughts of the advantages of being an agent for flips from a "commission savings" standpoint.Assuming I can use my license and represent myself (my LLC) on the buy side to waive commission and reduce that percentage from the purchase price.And subsequently listing the finished product myself and paying the transaction fees / costs associated to the process.As a sales partner of a brokerage, is this typically acceptable?

You recycle the same down payment from the 1st property into subsequent properties. 

Assuming that you're in a city, the answer, and any subsequent answers to how it can be done if it can be done, will be largely driven by your city's land development code.What can safely be assumed though, is that you'll have to have some sort of street access.

It's very easy to let the wrong person in your house who will subsequently destroy your house and you will be left to pick up the pieces. 

What it found is that while the latest housing bubble may have indeed popped, manifesting itself not only in a decline in flipping prices but also a tumble in flipping activity across the US as a percentage of all sales from 6.5% a year ago to just 3.7% in Q1, and down from 4.1% last quarter, flipping, where a home is purchased and subsequently sold again within six months, can still be massively profitable, leading to returns that would make the pimpliest 25-year-old, math PhD HFT-firm owner green with envy.Among the core findings was that the average sales price of single family homes flipped in the first quarter was $55,574 higher than the average original purchase price.
