If you have to, interview a couple until you find one that you "click" with. 2) Let that agent connect you with their network of investor-friendly lenders. 3) Meet with these lenders, have them talk over your finances with you and what loan products you would qualify for at the moment based on your income and assets. 4) Let the outcome of that conversation (#3) dictate your strategy moving forward and take your findings back to the realtor so you can craft a plan.

To me the primary consideration is ALWAYS business, as opposed to taxes.And here is why business interests dictate the opposite of what these gentlemen suggested.a.

@Russell BrazilI agree in some situations it could be higherQuestion I have is who is paying it and how will market dictate it.For example right now in some areas a seller will get 10 offers so they could basically be like, screw this I will pay my agent but not the buyers agent and probably still get great offersWill that make any difference ?

Your tax situation will dictate much of this, but for me, it all comes down to total ROI.
