@Susie Lowe it is difficult to find real opportunities unless you have boots on the ground or a close relationship with a commercial broker or wholesaler.

I'm a Real Estate Licensee who works in a very remote, fly-in access-only community.

When you know the buying process, the neighborhood, and how to find the property on your own, and are ready to buy another property: How can you avoid the 2-3% buyer commission portion going to an agent on an MLS listed property, without having to get your license and pay the costs of having a license?

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

Hello all, I am new to real estate investing.

How the money is distributed at closing doesn’t change your tax situation unless you did something like a 1031 exchange where you would not actually receive any money - the money would go towards another real estate purchase - to which there are a lot of rules. all the best!

State Laws and Requirements Local Laws: Real estate is generally governed by the laws of the state where the property is located.

Just need to see if I can't find any investor agents in Lexington, Ky.

Do I speak with a real estate attorney or an real estate accountant?
