Based on what you shared, try Fathom Realty:✅ 100% Commission (transaction fee instead)✅ E&O Included✅ No Franchise Fees✅ No Desk Fees✅ No Technology Fees✅ Agent Referral ProgramThere is an annual fee with joining Fathom.They have a 12-week mentoring program for all new agents and the mentor receives 30% of your first three transactions.There is also an extensive library of videos.Though the brokerages is not investor-specific, there are brokers who specifically buy, rehab, and rent properties for clients.https://fathomcareers.com/I’m active duty Air Force and I liked the fact that they are a cloud-based brokerage (no physical offices) and not a lot of fees.

Vastly different area.

That said, the overwhelming majority of properties in the Smokies are on private wells, and a vast majority of those are not having water production issues.  

There is a vast difference between Metro Detroit and the City of Detroit. 

A proper (and legal) contingency or addendum that the seller is to cooperate with the 1031X is best taken from your state clause form library. 

People are VASTLY less likely to lie on the commercial side, and they don't do the "waive all contingencies" stuff, so it's a lot safer to take the listing broker's numbers at face value.

You can also do the math pretty quickly compared w/ prior videos of his that shared his overall revenue and see that the VAST majority of his income comes from teaching, rather than doing.He did $57k revenue last year on a 3br view cabin in Gatlinburg. 

Trevor,The vast majority of companies use the Dwelling/Fire policies (some call them Landlord policies) to insure 1-4 family & condo units rented to others.

@Matthew DormanWelcome to BiggerPockets, you are definitely in the right place to learn and grow.I think partnering with experienced investors and agents initially, is one of the best way to set yourself up for success.Also real estate investing is very vast and learning about it as much as we can always helps.A local Investor-Agent can help shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!
