To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone give you a referral, don’t make the mistake of assuming that PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.We also can’t believe how many owners hire the first PMC they speak with!

🌟 It’s fantastic to hear about your journey in real estate so far, especially with your experience in short-term and mid-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.

Currently in the phase of buying my first property and needed some clarification if I’m getting screwed or not I’m in Rome, Ga and that is where I’m purchasing the home it’s a flip that was a 3 bed 1 bath but has been flipped into a 4 bed 2 bath the asking price is $214,900 originally 230k but the seller wants a quick sell my agent told me we should give them the asking price and ask for them to pay 5k closing close I wanted to ask for 190k and same closing cost but agent said they wouldn’t take us serious so I agreed to agents terms as I’m signing paperwork electronically I see closing cost is 17k since seller is paying 5k brings it down too 12k but being in Georgia I am approved for Georgia dream which covers closing and some of down payment now when I sign at closing I have to pay 6k I’m wondering why is closing 17k my friend bought a property his closing cost was only 10k granted he bought his property for 189k but I feel like my agent isn’t really trying to get me a good deal should I back away from this property, find a new agent, go through with this purchase, or am I getting screwed in the process? 

The owner wanted to have a contract sent over through email for me to sign.

I think if you have access to all three, look through the comps they use and find the ones that are most applicable. 

Off-market deals are properties not publicly listed but still obtainable through direct outreach or connections.

Demanding I sign a document saying the house is in better condition than it was when they moved in, etc. and I must do a walk through with him, and give him his 2K deposit back.

If you’re experienced and read through this whole thing please share what you think I should do.

I have one on the main drag through town.
