Ask them to confirm the license is still active.

I am pretty active in the STR space in northen Utah.

However, these activities should not cause concern for them.

Most agents paying for leads are inexperienced, which is why they need to pay for leads.Look for an agent with a minimum of 15 years of active experience.

Are you actively looking at specific properties there, or just exploring the market for now?

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, FHA 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a LLC, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

It's a very local question based on the comps and active/recently sold inventory inside the community.

It is not uncommon for syndicators to list properties they were passive LP investors in, and for sure to list properties they were/are also a part of GP, with limited/minimal active management roles.

I am actively looking for another W2 that will pay me substantially higher.

RE is a lot more active and involved, even if you hire a PM and a GC which BTW eats up your returns.
