Sellers are still able to offer compensation to the Buyer’s real estate agent, but this compensation can no longer be advertised in the MLS.

@Chris StevensonI was so glad I spent that $10,000+ on a real estate guru said no one ever (unless they are a paid sponsor / affiliate).

In today's competitive real estate market, how do you ensure your fix-and-flip projects stay on track?

Those with real subject matter expertise get the year 1 return that no longer exists in more mature national park markets. 

I’m 25 years old and new Real Estate Agent in the Los Angeles area.Before becoming an agent I’ve always had a long term goal of being a landlord, whether it be through a family home or an apartment building.

I am an aspiring real estate investor wanting to connect and learn.

Looking forward to a true real estate journey toward financial independence.

When I first started my real estate journey in 2018 and started listening to BiggerPockets Real Estate podcasts, I was only familiar with Cash on Cash return.Once I actually entered the game in 2020, I quickly realized that there were many more calculations to take into consideration:ROI - Return on InvestmentROE - Return on EquityIRR - Internal Rate of ReturnEM - Equity MultipleCap Rate - Capitalization RateCoC - Cash on Cash ReturnAAR - Average Annual Return(I’m sure I'm missing some)I still struggle to juggle all of these calculations today.Developers, syndicators, flippers, etc., will all have different preferences.Which key calculations do you prioritize on when analyzing your deals?

Keep in mind hotels have a lot more moving parts and greater liability exposure yet we as a company still did not implement what you shared.Where we as operators differed was in our the understanding of the actual risks associated with owning real estate and how to mitigate or protect against them.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.
