First of all, a buyer's agent representing you is almost always paid by the seller's side (aka free service to you), so wouldn't be a great bonus to have someone who's on your side fighting the good fight for you.

Did you factor in Management fees (it will be more for a vacation rental), cleaning services etc or are you planning to have family and friends help you manage from OOS?

Less than 5 doors and rent income is not a major factor as long as you meet the debt service ratio.

@Harley TigrerosYou should be able to find the public notice of the foreclosure that'll give loan amount owed and, if it does go to foreclosure, you can buy it at auction (if it's within the specified time period for public notice)

It is ALSO coupled with immigrants coming over through refugee services as we are one of a select number of "cities" elected by the powers-to-be as such.   

But then I realize this is the service I've come to expect from listing agents...

Apparently I didn’t dig into their services deep enough.

Why would you do anything other than just pay the contractor for his services?
