Does your local board of health, building and zoning departments allow hair salon businesses to be run out of private homes? 

@Logan Guerrero one of the challenges with maintenance is owners not having funds.So, we've learned to prioritize maintenance issues:1) Health & safety issues2) City & S8 inspection issues3) Property preservation4) Direct marketing issues (purple walls)5) Miscellaneous

Retain a real estate attorney or title company and I'm getting pretty much the same representation as with a buyer's agent.If anything, I see this as a threat to buyer's agents, who may well find themselves disintermediated like travel agents and neighborhood stationery stores.

I am definitely not ready for cash deals with a health rehab. 

I know personally quite few Sec.8 Tenants who drive nice cars (Lexus, Jeep Wrangler), take vacations, enjoy shopping in high end malls......they work for cash and have free health care, food stamps and Sec.8 Housing.These are not legal reasons but that's not what I believe I should do.

When factoring in additional costs such as maintenance, property management fees (if you do not opt for a property manager, and you should), and potential vacancy periods, the financial burden could increase.Check this out: If you're breaking even on rent at $1,600, any additional expenses or vacancies directly impact your pocket and mental health.

Until just a few years ago you could retire early and suddenly develop health problems depleting your savings.

Spouse, father, biotechnology engineer (by degree), water engineer (by experience), specializes in natural health, loves the world of personal development, and the world of real estate.- what am I doing here?

I think this is actually good for buyers, but will likely result in lower commissions for agents, I think in some ways the biggest change is the fact that buyer agreements have to be signed day one, that will do a few things open up a conversation about commissions and what a buyer wants to pay (keep in mind the buyer can still ask to have thr seller pay a buyers agent much like asking for closing costs assistance) but in that upfront conversation thier will be a negotiation about how much is to be paid, what services will be provided etc. and I believe both that sellers will potentially talk to a few different agents & even if they don’t the threat of that will lead buyers agents to negotiate, the media coverage of this will also drive seller awareness of the ability to negotiate.

Keep a keen eye on economic indicators, employment rates, and local development plans to gauge the overall health of the market.Maintenance Costs Can Sneak Up On You: It is easy to factor in property taxes, insurance, and regular maintenance, but unexpected repair costs can throw a wrench into your financial plans.
