You are already saving on the sale side, so I wouldn't be too upset if they say no.

We have turned the fact that the units are efficiencies into a victory for us.

.#3, #3, Unit 3, 3...etc..Second, I have to agree, if you don't have a legitimate buyer ready to go, your out of biz and your going to have some seriously upset people-these practices are what puts these deals on the radar for fraud.

I was so upset that I was frothing at the mouth! 

I'll reiterate by saying I am not upset by this...I am just an analytical person and needed to get a clear understanding of why I was paying him the buyer's side of the commission as well.  

He's been there for 6 years and was planning on moving in the next year anyway so he didn't seem really upset and he said he knew the owner was selling and that this could happen.

Go a few towns over if you're concerned about upsetting local competition.

There really isn't a right answer here it really depends on what you want to do and where you are in life.With that said, i personally would follow @Nicole Heasley's advice and hire a property manager: Easy money, no hassle.If you do take the route and sell - I would take a look at the capital gains tax you will be subject to, that alone may "upset your stomach" and decide to keep them!

It's a lesson learned and shame on me for not knowing but am I right to be upset with my agent and loan officer????

My broker was a little upset and tried her best to convince me otherwise, but I didn't budge.
