The potential 2.5% commission that might have been directed to the buyer's side is now potentially off the table.This change prompts a critical question for unrepresented buyers: how does this alter your strategic advantage when approaching a sale without an agent?

I am in West Palm Beach and would recommend finding a multifamily property that you can operate units as a short term rental, as it would have much better potential to positively cash flow and also allow you to buy in nicer neighborhoods.

So you may lose a few potential buyers and spend more time on the market waiting for the right buyer with this approach.

This goes back to doing more due diligence - talk to investors who have properties in those areas and to 5 experienced property management companies (instead of just 3) who will tell you what properties are renting for, potential problems, tenant base, etc

Hi BP community,I’m looking to invest in Texas and there’s a new law that the buyer must sign agreement with one realtor company or agent for the potential property. 

Bottom line… I’d be willing to come in a few thousand dollars more on my offer if it means there’s future potential to earn that much extra in rent each month, and I’m not sure what to do.

Certainly saving potentially 10k or more would be worth the hassle to most people.

Or is there anyone that would potentially wanna sit down and join my LLC as a lender and we can discuss terms and build a connection and do good business together! 

Reasonable priced major city but looking at other cities now potentially but haven’t invested the time into understanding another market yet.  

Here's what I've observed: in the areas with the best growth potential (for both rents and appreciation), existing small multifamily is very scarce.
