You also have to work under a broker though so you’d want to be upfront about your investment plans prior to signing with them.I have never heard the thing about having to pay 70 percent value for a house if you are a licensed agent, it sounds like a myth .

It sounds like you’re advocating for both.

Sounds like @Steve Babiak has some more thoughts though. 

Not to make it sound too simple but it just depends on what both of you want to do and get out of the deal.Whatever you end up doing make sure you have a contract with them and that EVERYTHING is in writing and signed!

Account Closed, sure, zero down sounds great, but, what are the other numbers?

It sounds like you're working a solid strategy. 

We were not planning on doing as much as we did, but we wound up gutting it down to the studs and replaced all electrical, plumbing (including the main drain), etc.  

@Jacob Carter , sounds to me like you are talking about DSCR.

When we have a roommate situation, where one of the lease signers wants to leave, the remaining tenants either take full responsibility for the rent among themselves or they find a prospective replacement tenant.

You sound timid and unsure .. which tells me you would have a very difficult time investing in this market .
