I am not sure what the rules are but the moderators probably don't like you posting the same question under different forums.

@shah a I live and invest in Detroit the rule of thumb is the closer to downtown the more expensive.

On your specific question I'll follow the discussion to see what the attorneys out there will say, but the agent is the real estate license holder, as issued by the state, not their company if they incorporate... so I'd imagine that "pierces the vail".But tangentially there's also the MLS rules for agents. 

Failing to follow the rules can land you in jail, not just civil court.

There are so many problems with this before even looking at the rules and it seems like you are looking for a way to make it ok and there will never be.If you are the listing agent you are NEVER bidding on the property, not through someone else, NEVER.

I really don't understand all these other flavors, Vanilla is perfect, no need to improve upon perfection.I am glad my book was mentioned in this list by @Keith Kellermeyer!

They must be distressed, list price to gross monthly rents ratio must meet the 1% rule or better, and they must be able to currently Cash Flow $100 per unit using the 50% rule.  

Also some lenders have a rule on the amount of mortgages an individual can have.

@Ryan Tuleja Anything I consider for BRRRR will meet the 75% rule (because I always plan to fully cash out). 

I'm selling a triplex for a client of mine, and the buyer will buy it,if the tenant who is month to month leaves or is evicted, what is the ruling on this in Ontario, just thought that i'd ask too see the response that i'd get here from Kitchener, Ont, Canada
