Best of luck on your journey Stacy!

I have a lot of clients and friends looking in the market.

For instance, not knowing what type of panels are on the naughty list in the eyes of the lender will trip you up during a DD period if you haven't underwritten your line item expense of replacing them.

The detectors simply need a common wire such that one goes of, all go off. 

TIf you're goal is to scale, they are an excellent option for while bypassing some of the stricter requirements of traditional financing.

On 8/15/24, 2 of the biggest changes are..✅ No longer can a buyer agent commission (that would be paid for by the listing brokerage or seller) be marketed on the MLS listing.✅ An agreement must be in place between the buyer and buyer’s agent before any properties can be toured.It should be noted these rules are in line with the NAR settlement and is an MLS participation requirement, not state law

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.  

From my experience (being on the DNC list and getting dozens of telemarketing calls a week) the main strategy is to ignore it and call everyone anyway. 

In Metro Detroit area, police will not remove these types of occupants (they are afraid of scamming landlord having police remove legal tenants), calling them a "civil matter" forcing landlord to start court eviction process.

For me, I had no goals but found that two of the deals that I did, the seller looked me up on FB and said that they felt good about me pretty much because they got to know me through videos / posts that I made and I suppose that it built trust with them.
