I don't believe it's any more difficult; it's just different, but it is a "learn by doing" business.

Until the many problems are actually fixed, creating something new isn't going to save their clients. 

I have clients in process of removing the PMI and getting different answers.What you are planning sounds good for cash flow.

I have a client that took at house and just turned it into 6 units and many other stories like this.  

@Patti Robertson I've got a client who is a lender who wants to be able to find flippers and market to them. 

Most of my clients purchase turnkey investment properties in areas like Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East/King-Lincoln Bronzeville, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburgh, and Hungarian Village.

We just don't want our clients to face issues if they were ever audited and I'm giving you the same advice! 

It is a hard conversation for a buyer's agent to have with a potential client so they may not call your attention to this unless you specifically ask.

I would ask them openly if aribtraging is easier or more difficult than it was 2 years ago.Best of luck!

I help clients, as a PML, do it all over the country.
