Remember, these expenses must be take with a healthy dose of skepticism.

New buyers need to furnish their homes and buy goods and services once they move in, all of which spurs consumer spending and expands our economy.

The pro for me is that mine in particular is well managed (healthy reserves) and keeps the property values from decreasing.

A healthy economy is roughly 6% for owner occ so 5.25% is pretty strong in general.

However you'd definitely be taking money out of the buyer's agent pocket, the one who actually did bring the property to your attention.If you want to go directly to listing agents to try to get an edge making offers - an edge which is not always there, as I said, because by ethical standards listing agents should not give preference presenting offers where there is no buyer's agent - then you should not ask buyers agents to set up searches for you.Instead, you should go to riliving.com which is the consumer side of the RI MLS, and set up your own searches; then all matching listings you see will be from the listing agents and you will avoid the ethical issue of asking people to do work for you but then refusing to pay them by going directly to the listing agents and thus cutting them out of the deal.But again, if you do that, know that you are losing an advocate in the deal, someone whose eyes and ears can work in your favor during subsequent negotiations.And if you don't do that, and instead do the scenario originally posed, where you get emails from buyers agents but then go around them, directly to the listing agent, know that RI is a small state and eventually someone will figure it out and people will talk.
