Zillow trying to do their own thing now have their own "Non exclusive touring agreement" being a workaround that again IMO doesn't do much for a buyers agent. 

They will usually never own up to these facts - instead they will use the cover of "our corporate clients", etc - it's a big tell!  

I got deep into loan types and rules and became a lender =) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

To give you some perspective on what those tax increases can look like here are some examples of the changes based on some of my properties that I own in the city:$4096 -> $5522 (+1426)$3850 -> $5516 (+1666)$3835 -> $6283 (+2448)These are only some examples, but all of the properties that I own have increased in its tax assessed value, therefore drastically increasing the taxes per year and decreasing annual cash flow.While tax assessments are normal it seems that this is a very drastic effort to recuperate losses.

Unless you own a couple of residential investment rentals already for 12+ months.

What kind of work are you doing now (sounds like your own business)?

I'm a real estate agent that specializes in working with investors in a second-home market in the Northeast US.

Usually, this would include something like a holding company ("Hold Co"), typically a traditional LLC, which in turn then owns an investment entity, often a traditional or Series LLC, which will be the entity that owns the assets/property invested into (the "Investment Co").

If you’re priced out of your own backyard then yes keep looking out of state.

I got a quote from our insurance agent and Foremost Insurance will allow the policy owner to be the policy owner but the rates are double what we are currently paying.The question is this - to prevent the "piercing of the veil" of the LLC, does the insurance also have to be out of my personal name and in the LLC's?
