I work for a land investment company dealing exclusively with vacant land.

Investors who plan to hold for the intermediate to long term miss the boat by concentrating on buying a property “below market” to the exclusion of all other criteria.  

If it's a bulk REO, then I have my buyer sign an NDA.The reason for treating them differently is that when I am selling a house, I typically have the house under a purchase or option contract and I have exclusivity.

I've had a few clients try to find condos to buy and rent exclusively on AirBnb and it can be done, but I warn them to prepare for long tedious process of finding listings in buildings that don't have restrictions.

If the seller has signed an "Exclusive Right to Sell" with the brokerage which is very likely, the seller is obligated to pay the full commission regardless of to whom or how it is sold.3.

Also need to know if its an exclusive right or exclusive agency contract.

But, it shouldn't be done to the exclusion of any non-bank entities (i.e. people) also estimating value.

The reason why people (mainly Investors) like them is because of the fact that with a Licensed Agent (one that knows a thing or two) they will try to get you into an exclusive buyer representation agreement which prevents you from buying anything without them getting paid.

If your agent had an exclusive listing agreement, s/he is entitled to his/her commission if the property sells during the listing or protected period.

If you use it exclusively for your rental property business the interest is tax deductible on your Schedule E.2) The taxes, insurance and other expenses prior to the "service date" need to be capitalized as part of the rehab and expensed over the life of the improvement.3) Credit card interest can be tricky.
