They can not make you enter a dual agency agreement.

I'm entering the REI world.

So I am entering my senior year of college, and running a small bookkeeping business.

Amazon is ready to get into the realty business and it is coming sooner than we all think.The biggest retail disruptor enters real estate.

As always, conduct your own due-diligence before entering any business.Ok, here we go. 

Most folks entering in the REI market are looking for 1-4 units. 

One theory is that we're entering the slower part of the home selling season.  

Are these "diamonds in the rough" that have the potential to turn sizeable short term(rehab and flip)/long term (buy and hold) profits OR money pits waiting to suck the financial life out of all those who dare enter? 

So, step 1 is to develop a formula for a first filter to make a decision about moving to offer and entering due diligence...common logic says that properties in worse areas have more deferred maintenance, rougher tenants, and are in generally worse condition than higher-end properties.

Once an offer is accepted with these terms and the due diligence period is entered-what happens if the owner wants to change their financing terms or pull financing?
