However, they will not be as good as agency loans.

I'm an executive creative director in advertising, having done agency life for 25+ years.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have both confirmed that buyers whose agents are compensated by the seller will continued to have access to financing through the agencies.

The reason being is Canada Revenue Agency considers it a foreign corporation (not a flow through entity), and therefore a mismatch in foreign tax credits resulting in some cases of 70%+ taxation! 

This settlement was about whether or not the buyers agency commission is advertised in the MLS and whether or not buyers need to sign a buyers agency agreement prior to any showings.

Buyers agents can't show a home without already having a buyer broker agency and commission agreement in place.

The 3 states I work primarily in already require buyer agency agreements by state law. 50% of our deals are off market, so our commissions already got written into our offers as a standard operating procedure.So virtually no changes for me. 

The purchase plus rehab was only $87k, i was up $20k before i got to the escrow agency.

Sounds like an agency guy to me ;)

I would prefer to synch up and build a relationship with a broker/agency.
