One of the key changes includes prohibiting the disclosure of buyer's agent compensation through the MLS and requiring agents to enter into written representation agreements with buyers.These changes are set to go into effect sometime in August, and I’m curious about how other agents and investors are preparing for this shift.

Hey guys,I'm a local real estate investor & agent in Watertown NY.  

I am an investor first but I also am a realtor and private money lender.

That way, no one knows the details behind the scene.As an accounting advisor, my goal is to customize the setup and reports per the needs of an investor, lender, or CPA, and anyone else who needs them.

Rob Bleecher .... sorta new investor from Mechanicsburg, PA

I am working with an investor friendly agent that has had great reviews on biggerpockets but still doing my own research on them, their content, and their recommended vendors/services. 

Serious buyers don't waste their time there, unless they are an investor looking for a fire sale. 

I am looking to gradually start buildling my team again and would appreciate solid references  for the following specifically in the Cleveland, Ohio area :- Investor friendly real estate agent - small bank lenders/ private lenderes- inspectors- appraisers- contractors Thanks in advance, and happy hunting :)

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.

I’m a new investor and an agent, so I’d love to have an idea of how I can be a better agent and how to reverse engineer it when needed.
