Basically it is excess land he wants to just trade for something.

So the idea is to constantly learn to get better and better where people seek you out by reputation and it's not about the commission but the ongoing working relationship.Sometimes if a seller wants excessive marketing one strategy is too have the seller pay for the upfront marketing and if it sells the broker/agents gives back the marketing cost amount at closing (verified credible receipts of course).

I will also tell you that your are correct that it is very difficult to find a single family home that produces excess cash flow based on these parameters.

Dang it's ugly:https://aeidecon.com/house-contaminated-meth/There's no way you would ever get it insured and the risk of being sued by a tenant for exposure (real or imagined) would not be worth the risk.I would bolt for sure.

I don't mind running the occasional comp, but I would consider more than a few (2-3) a week excessive if you are not using that agent to actually purchase the properties.

Reduce your exposure from a liability perspective.

They'll send it over to their in-house realtor, who will market it on the MLS for maximum exposure and offers.

Or, lenders worry about your exposure as a borrower to them so they focus more on the amount you owe them. 

Ive always been interested in real estate (I own a couple rental properties) and want to grow my portfolio and exposure.

As a sole proprietor, I'm looking to scale my real estate business and protect my personal asset exposure, does anyone have insight on whether I should purchase my next Muli-family either through a limited hold co. or should I incorporate?
