@Kofi ThompsonTwo issues to deal with1.

A 1 agent sale is being considered as an option the only issue is how to keep the agent unbiased.

@Lloyd Schroeder and all others wondering on this issue for the St Cloud area. 

They should be issuing you itemized statements on a regular basis that will break down maintenance, management, utility costs, rents received, etc.

very, very difficult to start out of state.here's a post that goes into these issues in tons of detail.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...you're in texas - you have lots of markets and submarkets. no reason to go out of state.

This is going to be a bigger and bigger issue for real estate investors in the near future. 

Between technology, the media coverage and the settlement itself, while the vast majority of sales will probably still be on market (MLS itself could have some issues going forward as a result of this settlement) but on the margins there will be an uptick of fsbo, of discount brokerages, again it won’t fundamentally change the majority of transactions but I expect the housing market to get even weirder than it already has been the past few years.

Ocala and Palm Bay are two areas that are a little saturated because many investors have been buying in those areas, but generally speaking I would say the bigger issue is finding properties that cash flow without a large down payment.  

Just debating to do it or not because I don't have any issues and don't want to pay $5 a month and have to constantly go check my mail at the post office. 

Some investors / flippers of very inexpensive vacant land do self-close, where the cost to close with a title company (most often requiring that you purchase title insurance, which comes with a minimum cost just for issuing a policy) approaches or exceeds the monetary value of the land.
