If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Since they are responsible for maintaining the relationship with you after the transaction closes, this approach adds an extra layer of confidence and security to your investment.

You will have a leg up on the language, transactions, inspections etc.  

This brings me to now, I've taken this approach and have used my own money in lending, but am also bringing in friends and family to take part in these transactions so they can earn way better returns than with CD's.

I opened an account, a Solo 401K IRA and completed the transaction.

Without knowing your transaction history I stand by what I said.

This phenomenon not only poses significant risks to property owners and managers but also threatens the integrity of rental transactions.

I am not in the flipping market but I handle multifamily transactions for buyers and sellers who are very transactional.

Don't trust what ANYONE tells you about a market without solid data to back it up - this includes claims about how many transactions they've done or a single example (that's often from several years ago). 

This means that sometimes the insurance will be higher than you would think it would be or need to be but be warned; insurance is a "get what you pay for" type of transaction.
