Having a family there are always reasons why funds cannot be allocated towards starting a business or investments.

Some agents worry about how it will affect their business and client relations, while sellers and buyers are trying to grasp how it might impact their transactions.As a community devoted to real estate knowledge and empowerment, let's dive into this together: Agents and Brokers: How do you plan on adjusting your listing and showing strategies once these changes take effect?

Treat it like a business from the beginning so they will take you seriously.

@Douglas Middleton Your best bet is probably to call a local bank, ask for a commercial lender, then tell them you're looking for a "business line of credit" or "working capital line of credit." 

@Chris Seveneyto your point... a lot of new investors come on BP and don't want to invest in rentals directly (or are pausing) and get told "invest in a syndication" or "start your own HML business"this makes sense if you're established and looking to diversifybut if your life savings is $50,400, you should not put $50K in a syndication. 

I then go to Trulia to create the same ad, then Hotpad, etc...Syndication is not worth it because if you look at the syndicated ads, they are only showing very limited information and pictures on the syndicated sites, but if you go to those sites and place a "new" ad, there is more "real estate" for your property on that web site.

But I would certainly never discourage anyone from investing in rentals if they are truly passionate about building a side hustle business.

I have a arm of my funding business where I fund these students/investors for profit splits.

Agents will have to step up their game and be held accountable for all sides of their business now.
