The commission paid greatly outweighs having to go back on the market and potentially getting less than you listed it for the first time.Some individual markets are better for this than others, but if you have an agent with a great strategy on the list side (professional photos, staging advice, etc) and you pair that with listing the property at a low price; you increase your chances dramatically of getting a bidding war and not only offsetting the commission but potentially making more than originally planned. 

My goal is to learn from experienced members, exchange insights, and build connections with like-minded individuals who are passionate about growing in the real estate market.

Individual LLC, Parent/Child LLC, Trusts, etc.

I'm excited to join this community and connect with like-minded individuals passionate about real estate investing.

I’m here to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.I’ve been fortunate to build great networks so far, but I know there’s so much more to discover in the beautiful world of real estate.

I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, learning from your experiences, and sharing my journey in real estate investing.

@William CoetThe big players definitely approach these markets differently from individual investors.

Sure one unit may have more occupants than the other, etc. but this is quite simply the simplest way and quite arguably the fairest way because of the issues with rubs above ; ESPECIALLY when this understood by the Tenant before moving in -- instead of focusing on utilities for the individual (RUBS) you are focusing on utilities for the space.

While rent rates do increase, so do the potential headaches of managing multiple tenants.For example, here in Bryan and College Station, TX, you can get an extra 10% by renting out rooms individually.

@Ryan Kline You either have a balance sheet we all envy or you are an individual who has no confidence in their ability to be a good real estate operator.
