We have a lack of whole sellers in BCS, so if you can find away to get a consistent flow of off market properties, there is money to be made in it.

They are assuming a low agency debt and there is no high interest mezzanine financing involved. 

I agree with telling your insurance agency you are going to have a STR and get the correct insurance.I personally think 1 million liability is plenty.

But the seller would save costs from lack of realtor fees.

That lack of new supply along with strong demand has kept the markets up WA HOUSINGAlso I belive the cost of replacement has risen so much that intrinsic values have also risen significantly though you are still paying a premium of 20% atleast to secure a deal.

If that's not the case and the GC still requires 1/3 payment up front,  it means they have other projects that are suffering or lack quality subcontract relationships and can't place them on net 30's and when contractors are moving money around to cover for other projects,  that's a slippery slope. 

Let’s separate the very DIFFERENT things we are talking about here….I think they are being “lumped together” resulting in a lack of clarity 1.

This is the pertinent section of a NAR Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement from PA.

I do real estate agency and occasionally flip plus self-manage and Quickbooks and apartments.com work best for me. 

RUBs are not based on consumption, therefor tenants/residents lack positive reinforcement (lower overall rental expense) to conserve water or even report a cycling toilet.
