I think if a realtor is working with a new investor, the wiifm comes into play heavily or vice versa, a veteran investor is working with a realtor who is new to working with investors and hates the amount of work they have to put in.I've been on both sides and I think I wrote some things on this before, but this goes both ways.

I can see on larger projects where the management company gives a special rate to the client.The systems used cost a lot of money so if the client sold early it would heavily impact the expected profit returns for the PM company for taking on the job.If it's just a little house or something I don't see the point of it.

While I am heavily invested in Real Property I also think it is wise to diversify and invest in the stock market as well, and what better way to do so by using passive income obtained from Real Estate!

Sometimes these options can be heavily tilted to the seller.

This is likely because the bank needs to control the appearance heavily, snow removal, etc.

I wanted to put a post out there in order to see if there are any Portland Real Estate investors, professionals, wholesalers, contractors, etc That would like to meet and possibly work with us in the Portland OR and Vancouver WA area.I have been flipping houses the better part of a decade and currently invest heavily in the Seattle area. 

Also this will open your IRA up to paying UDFI(unrelated debt financed income), this is taxed pretty heavily...though this can still be worthwhile, you just need to account for the tax hit in your analysis.

I've spent the last couple hours looking through old threads and it seems like this is a heavily debated topic that I wasn't able to determine an answer to. 

Depends heavily on how their offer is structured and the circumstances.
