That way they still get compensated for their time (via a referral agreement between agents) and efforts but you also receive the expertise of a local agent. 

Make sure you are compensated for the risk.

So you have the same risk factor as Class B but you are giving up any extra return to compensate!

Know how your realtor expects to be compensated. 

It is clear me that charging for BPs service won't help me or anyone else for that matter, and I need to hustle harder to compensate for increased competition.Regards,Josh

I'm not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm not sure that I have the connections or the resources to compensate for that deficiency, so I think it best to avoid flipping.

Based on @Gary L Wallman' theory, we are entitled to payment of rent compensation from the government from a "Taking" of our property

I would never buy a property with negative cash flow because I believe (hope) the loss will be compensated for with appreciation down the road.

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

To compensate for this, you can charge the tenant a standard fee monthly (or charge back the actual rate-  depending on what the lease states).Please also note that this also depends on if you are working with section 8 tenants or not, in which case you would comply with that is depicted in the HAP.
