I have started listening to the Podcasts from 2013, talk to a close friend who uses this site regularly, own one SF home that I used to live in and now rent out, and also another SF that I live in with my wife and two beautiful daughters (1 & 3).

I don't mind setting things up so that the realtor gets his/her commission on a rental, but I don't want them to feel entitled to a percentage of the sale price when the home sells if they find out we are doing a lease option.I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is how a rental listing agreement works as opposed to a regular listing agreement.

I read the Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller a few years ago and I plan to give that another look as well as start regularly listening to the podcasts again.

As a brand new agent I was highly impressed by the exemplary training we received and continue to receive on a regular basis.

If you do this be sure to check your balance on a regular basis to make sure they are paying the rent on time.

@Nagesh PulipatiThere are a few Solo 401k providers who participate regularly in these forums.

It monitors water flow and can detect leaks based on changes in water pressure (and theoretically shut off the water before a leak causes much damage). 

If there is equity at your purchase price, then it's just a regular sale.

@Brendon Grover a HUD home is going to be treated differently than a regular purchase.  

I worked with one seller whose main concern was a prepayment penalty b/c they wanted a regular check.
