Just don't allow your frustration with the situation to cause you to make any other potentially more expensive mistakes.John

It’s possible I did a poor job of explaining this, this isn’t really a service for investors per se’ in fact I would probably in an ideal enjoy doing this more for primary home buyers, this to me is an alternative to the 2.5% commission model, you cut out the most time consuming and often in my opinion least valuable part of the job which is showing people around and opening cabinets and seeing if they are soft close or not lol (I presume in this new world there will be more open house, more showings by listing agents, possibly more services that allow buyers to show themselves houses like the Redfin does on some of its listing) because of that plus the guarantee of getting at least something for your time allows you to theoretically charge much less while still providing the important parts of the job, like you should consider this area, let’s go over this home inspection repost, here’s how we should craft an offer etc, even spending time explaining rent vs buy calculation and personal finance etc, plus the being able to be paid regardless of your advice, I’ve had countless clients who has just a myriad of bad ideas I’ve talked out of, but of course you don’t get paid for that in this commission structure.

I think a full time income as you learn the business will allow you to sidestep some of those pitfalls. 

Good morning @Brian Kempler - we work with a few dozen national private lenders and still don't have anyone allowing RON.

some states do not allow zillow or any of the other sites to show what homes sell for, it's super annoying when you're trying to comp properties but don't have mls access in that state. if you've made 20+ offers on similar properties in the same area and it's not working, you have to do something different. do you have to go to a different market?

Not sure if that's allowed but to me that seems sketchy since they can come up with whatever pricing or repairs. 

If you do, be sure to leave a message - Periscope allows people to leave comments - as well as any questions you might have.

This approach allows me to deduct the interest paid on the policy loan from my taxes.

Right now, not all lenders allow this.I have my real estate license, but I'm not as concerned since my focus/purpose is not on being a buyer's agent.I hope this helps.
