Costs that eat up some or all of the savings you might have from a commission.Why waste the time getting a license, finding a broker to work under, paying Realtor fees, putting in office time, paying the other fees required of an agent and have to face continuing education requirements for what is retail sales.

the challenge seems to be in finding an escrow/title company that will allow the "double escrow" to be done.....for example: there is an escrow open that is required by the lender once the "approval" from the lender is secured....then there needs to be another escrow opened between the "buyer" and the "end-buyer" on the same property....so, "end buyer" comes into escrow with the $300K plus closing costs, closes existing escrow on the property...then the title/escrow officer walks into the next room and applies the $250K plus closing costs to the original escrow to close that one.in theory and once in the past this was the way it was and still should be...but, now as it seems, most escrow/title companies are not wanting to do the "double" escrow for reasons of "full disclosure" to all parties, for fear of not being "sued" for some type of fraud.those of us not engaging in these tactics get penalized.....but, such is life....i have a title company that has stated they will do a "double" escrow but, will need to let the lender know this fact. not disclose the "amount" the "end-buyer" is paying, merely disclose there is a 'double" escrow in effect....well, obviously this should kill the deal right at the very end....so, not a wise direction to take....

If the developer goes out of business you have no guarantee.Third, the supply could exceed the demand so that after two years there is little rental demand at the guaranteed level.Fourth, your home is at risk if you pull out cash and then later can not afford to pay it back.Focus on reading here and learning your local market better.

Hence if you find a good RE attorney who works on the tax aspects of complex commercial deals they will either offer estate planning services or have someone in their office that handles the tasks.
