Although it possibly will be a lower rate than what I'm at now, it's still something.  

Fortunately, we have a good report with the agent(s) with whom we work and they bring us lots of {potential} deals (on, off and pre-market).In short, it is not at all necessary to have your licence to be an investor here, but it could be beneficial as it can lower your selling costs when the time comes.

I do not plan on employing any agents or maintaining an office, as most of my transactions will be for personal investment.  

If they sign a contact with you then they become a “Limited Agent” (in Utah it maybe named different in other states) in the transaction.

We worked with an appraiser before where the market value submitted to the lender was based on comps which did not take the planned upgrades into consideration resulting into a much lower projected ARV.

And many that make thousands of dollars on one transaction and really add no value or use any of their own money.With all this being said what I would encourage all of you to do is to find someone locally that you can trust if you are purchasing out of state.  

I saw some recommendations for OwnerLand Realty, Transaction Realty and reached out to a few members. 

There have been delays and stories that don't come true and lower cash flow than expected etc etc etc.

The appraisal had the rents incorrect, so when it was corrected the lowered the sq ft price to keep their appraisal the same.
