Best thing for agents is be direct, don't get caught up in FOMO or their pressure.

I'm curious to ask what strategy you guys use for agent/realtor outreach.

As has been previously mentioned, there are a set of rules and ethics for agents and brokers that should always be maintained if you want to be respected by your team, and as a professional in the investing world. 

I happen to ask how many occupants, and I never asked for ages,"There is me, I am 18, and my boyfriend who is 19, then another couple, and their baby".

She should.Then you could 1099 her and not worry about payroll taxes - for agent-type services.For the maintenance work she does, also 1099 her by having her bid each job separately.Of course, speak to your tax professional about all this first, to make sure this would all meet IRS self-employment requirements.

- New builders have been given lots of incentives for months now - they pay closing costs, buy down interest rates, higher commissions for agents. - Possibly... in most areas of the country the market is a sellers market and the seller can get top dollar for their property.

Hi Peter,I will start looking in Zillow for agents as you mentioned.

There is so much information for agents that it can be easy to absorb and not apply.

You already know that evenings and weekends are prime time for agents, and finding the time for a day off or vacation is going to be difficult if you want to succeed.

This is why they are now forbidden to be used by REAL ESTATE AGENTS  I suspect private party no licensed agents involved can do what ever they please in this regard.Also you probably heard that the Master bedroom now for agents must be referred to as the primary..
