Each found allies in their legislative bodies to introduce the bills, got them passed and signed them into law.As Im even typing this out ideas are popping into my head about the possible levers a President could have.

Most first-time investors shop blindly and end up learning the hard way..Also make sure to present the deal clearly to the lender.

Sellers, will decide, at their listing agreement whether they want to compensate a buyer agent or not and live with their consequence of whatever they choose.Buyers agents will now have to have that difficult discussion with their buyers about their compensation upfront and a buyer will more likely shop around for an agent and learn to negotiate what they will pay their agent if the seller is not offering or not offering enough.

If you have a trusted lender contact, then go ahead and get your pre-approval from them first and go shopping for agents afterwards.

If you ever have any tenant related questions or want to talk shop, don't hesitate to reach out.
