We are getting close to and we are looking for new lender, or a way to put our current lender as ease, and increase our loan limits. does anyone have experience with this situation?

When I moved to Maine, NAR membership was required for MLS access.NAR likes to push a narrative that members are held to a higher standard than non members. 

What is a standard commission for buyer's agent?

Trying to get rent increases approved was even worse!

You've increased value in your NW and have minimal maintenance for the next decade. 

@Maria PutnamI wouldn't start with a private lender... since it's your first investment I don't think it's fair to put their money at risk.I'd just save up enough until you can get a more standard hard money loan.

They went with their standard process to auction it off again thru the county.

It's also important to ensure your property is presented well with professional photographs and possibly a virtual tour.Additionally, expanding your marketing to social media, real estate forums, and local community boards could help increase visibility.

The listing agent may still have increased compensation from the seller if the commission was variable. 

In addition, you need to know the current Legal Rents in the records of HCR (DHCR) for each apartment as they will be rents that you will most likely be stuck with and you will not have the ability to increase rents to cover Rehab or your investment.
