The owner of the option got what they paid for, thus no refund is given.6a - ...and if the agreement "is" executed, meaning the owner of the Option does execute the purchase within the term of the option, there is no credit given since, just like #6, the owner of the option got what they paid for...the "exclusive right" to buy the property during the term of that option.Now, if you want to give credits, you can (I know...I said you can't...bare with me) "give credit" in a different way. 

In summary it doesn't have to be one or the other- it is not mutually exclusive  it is a good rule of thumb to have an attorney or cpa familiar and licensed in each state you file a return. 

However, a lot of people think they can do it on their own, but having someone represent you and keep your fiduciary interest at heart can be smart if you're inexperienced with buying real estate.Lastly, if the realtor finds the deal for you, they would likely not even show you the house without have an exclusive right to buy agreement in place.  

Option 2, as needed but I wouldn't sign an exclusive buyers agreement or whatever the term is.My best deals have all been completely off-market, belly to belly. 

Don't get married to an exclusive agent just yet, but I DO sign one of those (can be general for a month or so, or specific to the property you are offering on) when I start making serious offers with them. 

If you are single or married and lived in the house for 2 years you are allowed to deduct 250k-500k in gains as a primary residence exclusion.

Some flippers buy houses exclusively in urban areas where the prices are cheapest.

Hey.I'm looking to buy my first multi-family 16-30 unit deal and as I'm learning along the way a lot of new things, wanted to ask if it is a common thing to have an exclusive buyer-agent agreement for CRE deals, and also if it is common that the buyer pays the commission (3%) for the agent, rather then the seller as it is in residential deals.Thanks in advance!

I'm aware that investors vet out their agents by working exclusively with agents that invest.
