The only change to the existing law was to expand the definition of "Provide real estate brokerage services" to include the following:Regardless of whether the activity is engaged in for another person, engaging in the buyer or selling, offering to buy or sell, or marketing of real estate or otherwise dealing in contracts, including assignable contracts, for real estate or options on real estate, on two or more occasions in any 12-month period.Principals buying and selling on their own account clearly fall within this expanded definition.

Their team is engaged, right from the top.

Here are a couple of software options that I think might be a good fit alongside those third-party services: BrytSoftware: This user-friendly platform streamlines tasks like loan payments, statements, and communication with automated workflows.

For us it varies by market but in our primary market 15% plus a small monthly fee to help cover software costs etc if it's a lower gross property.That's full service, host doesn't have to worry about anything and can forget the property even exists if they want to.We do have tiered services where it's 10% (w/ no or lower monthly fee) if the owner wants us to only do one side of it (either manage bookings but not guests/cleanings/maintenance, or vice versa).25-30% used to be more normal but that's legacy pricing now, for a couple of reasons.1) Of course margins are much thinner for owners now that revenue has generally come down across the board from the peak, while home prices and interest rates have risen alongside that.2) Probably even more important, a simple supply/demand equation, particular to the case of increased supply. 

Hi Christine, for a successful out-of-state investment, carefully research and select safe, high-demand neighborhoods in Memphis or Columbus, consider the potential benefits of duplexes for better cash flow, and engage a reliable property management company to handle local operations efficiently.

I just got engaged to my fiancé, who graduated college in May and has a considerable amount of debt.

Either become an expert in the niche/market you want to invest in or invest passively alongside an experienced investor (syndications/funds).

I agree with just about everyone above that the price should be either discussed upfront or in the engagement letter before services began.It's different to know how much they saved you because tax preparation typically isn't a service to save you taxes, you'll want to meet with them during the year for this.

Looking forward to forging valuable connections and learning alongside each one of you.
