@Mario MoralesI think this is a common question and the value that an agent will bring will vary by individual needs.

Everyone thinks they can paint but there's a big difference between a professional paint job and a non-professional one (the latter usually actually damages the property instead of improving it). 

This is the same if you made an improvement to your home like finishing a basement or adding in a pool.

Purchasing a “distressed” property and “repositioning” it requires significant capital for improvements, build outs, holding costs, maintenance.In looking for that “needle in a haystack” slam dunk great deal you’re competing with very knowledgable, greatly experienced investors with the cash to make no contingency offers and close in a few days.  

The Exclusive Right to Represent makes sense for prospective individual homebuyers, but for real estate investors, it seems unfair and limiting.

That alone was the biggest improvement for my business practices and allowed me to take all of my bookkeeping in-house and eliminate the expense I was shelling out for a bookkeeper.

The direct booking features are also fantastic.Customer service is solid, and Hospitable is constantly improving.

Property ClassProperties are categorized by class, impacting their quality, condition, and investment profile:Class A: High-end, newly built, prime locations, attractive to institutional investors.Class B: Good quality, older than Class A, with minor deferred maintenance.Class C: Older properties with dated amenities, but value-add opportunities exist.Class D: Distressed properties in less desirable locations with high risks but potential for significant improvement.4.

Additionally, add in the ambiguity/risk of the due on sale clause or ramifications on the conventional loan of transferring the property from your individual name to an LLC - the economics don't make sense, and the headache isn't worth it even if it did, in my opinion!

For this reason, I teach people to set policies for renting to unrelated individuals.
