I prefer having a social media presence.

@Kate Barry I'd encourage you and your team members to increase your social media presence!

Regarding appliances, I had to personally drive 5 hours to get the refrigerator my wife wanted, and our range only made it thank to my wife's social media presence and one of her followers from across the country helping us by ordering it (it was only available for local delivery) and repackaging it for Fedex freight across the US.  

Presence in the market and in similar assets is big.

Several states have laws on the books mandating the presence of an attorney or other types of involvement at real estate closings, but you can use a title company to close your transaction.I'd suggest you use an agent who knows the area well and has a good marketing plan for you property.

@Allen WuYes, trends white collar but also a blue collar presence.  

Recently several people I know in the real estate arena are looking for additional cash flow opportunities and one area is in the area of e-commerce - there are several real estate gurus out there who are now pitching automated online stores.The premise - pay an up front fee of between $25,000 to $40,000 for their team to help you - set up your company, establish a credit card to buy product, build your online store and presence, research products, place them and market them on your store, sell them before you buy them, then using your credit and credit card, they buy them and fulfill the order to the customer. 

I think you're stating that the commission is typically fixed in the listing agreement, regardless of the presence of 1 or 2 realtors.

The first two options require physical presence in the area of your investment property so they are out for most people who want to buy remotely.

The Series LLC is setup in Indiana where larger banks do have a presence.
