The obvious benefit is access to MLS and most important, commissions.I get free access to title reports and the MLS through my team mebers and it is actually FREE (I don't pay a dime, but I certainly repay them with my business).That all said, one of the BEST strategies (in my opinion) is to not get YOUR license as an investor and ave your spouse get one.

You may never collect a dime, but at least it's in there.

I can't make a dime lol and its not because of deals, its my Marketing techniques, which to say is lousy lmao.......

Same with multi family in those markets were vacancies were at 30 to 50% or more... when your work force stops building homes and moves back to mexico not much you can do when you have no tenants.and most MULTI as you know breaks even at 70 to 80% occ.. when you go below you start bleeding and bleeding fast.. then you lose themI knew one investor who got totally wiped out at the same time in Vegas In 06 he sold all his Portland holdings 100 million rolled that into 150 million in Vegas ONLY to LOSE IT all  every last friggin dime.

Not a dime.
