I am an agent and investor in the area and help a lot of House hackers like yourself.

From time to time, I need to hire an outside agent to help fill some of the turn overs. 

How much are the average closing costs (including agent service fee, closing fee, premium etc.)?

I know the horror stories.If you are working with an agent that advises otherwise, you need to find another Realtor.

After working with a lot of lenders over the years, the most important thing for me is their level of customer service (will they provide a lender letter promptly for you when you need to write an offer quickly, call the listing agent to help you get your offer accepted, pick up their phone for you, etc.) and do they close on time?

Is your "insurance guy" a captive agent (one company) or independent (able to shop around)?

I’m an investors agent and STRs were about half of my business last year.

My wife doesn't work but doesn't have a real estate agent license.

So, there's been a big shake-up in the real estate world, especially for agents.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!
