I have started listening to the Podcasts from 2013, talk to a close friend who uses this site regularly, own one SF home that I used to live in and now rent out, and also another SF that I live in with my wife and two beautiful daughters (1 & 3).

I don't mind setting things up so that the realtor gets his/her commission on a rental, but I don't want them to feel entitled to a percentage of the sale price when the home sells if they find out we are doing a lease option.I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is how a rental listing agreement works as opposed to a regular listing agreement.

I read the Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller a few years ago and I plan to give that another look as well as start regularly listening to the podcasts again.

As a brand new agent I was highly impressed by the exemplary training we received and continue to receive on a regular basis.

If you do this be sure to check your balance on a regular basis to make sure they are paying the rent on time.

@Nagesh PulipatiThere are a few Solo 401k providers who participate regularly in these forums.

If there is equity at your purchase price, then it's just a regular sale.

@Brendon Grover a HUD home is going to be treated differently than a regular purchase.  

I worked with one seller whose main concern was a prepayment penalty b/c they wanted a regular check.

Unfortunate this is a regular thing depending on the neighborhood.
