@Clint CoonsWould you mind explaining how an S Corp avoids NIIT under your illustrated fact pattern if you don't extract taxable income from the corp as W-2 income?

It isn't the right thing to do to just lock the door, but sometimes explaining that as a licensee they have given up their tenant rights, helps get them out before you have to do it.

You'll just need to explain your living situation.

It might just be easier to do a set bump, and explain that this is the purpose.

Once you have them in person, it is our duty to explain our value proposition - marketing, resources, team structure, systems and processes etc.With respect to why they shouldn't sell on their own:- Zillow direct most traffic to Premiere Agents so the seller only gets a small percentage of interested buyer inquiries- They are only exposing their property to a small portion of the market- It takes TIME to do showings, market open houses, negotiate contracts, coordinate inspections, appraisals, walkthroughs, etc.- Agents who list their property on MLS can expose the listing to other agents who are incentivized to bring forward a qualified buyer.

Since our properties are thoroughly cleaned in and out and sanitized in areas that are mostly inhabited by people on their stay we explain our cleaning process.

I would suggest talking with more lenders and explaining the situation to see if they would be able to lend based on your circumstance, not all lenders are created equally.

@Patrick Blankenship make sure you get with a rockstar VA LO that can explain your options to you. 

I had a bad case of the shiny object syndrome.

Let me explain that better.
