What ROI do you need to justify the liability and active nature of owning a rental property?

I also renovated houses and own an interior design and renovation business. 

A smart seller/listing agent will likely require a large EMD to tie you to performing on your offer, so be prepared for that. 

They used to offer exclusive properties but now it appears that they are pulling MLS listings and will connect you with an agent.

Talk to a top commercial agent for more insight...

I’m actively working on agent outreach and direct-to-seller approaches and would love to collaborate or learn more about your investing criteria.This community has been such a tremendous resource for me, and I’m eager to give back by helping others find great opportunities in Columbus.

No agents involved.

Pretty much every small business other than some obscure ones that are excluded (see below) If you have 12 Single Member LLCs that own your rental properties.

HI @David SohnSituation 1: You don't pay for your brokers fee:In this situation you are not paying for a buyers agent and they would be paid via the seller.

However, the suitability of buying and renting out a single-family home in Richmond can depend on various factors, such as market trends, rental demand, and property values (similar case with all markets, really.)Chatting with a local agent in the area can provide very helpful insights into the market, data, and specific neighborhoods.
