But back to your point I can totally understand why some people feel like they'd be encroached on under these circumstances.

Obviously, most sellers believe they are not sufficiently knowledgeable to make the sellling decisions on their own, and prefer to spend the extra 3% for help.

Well I can, but I won't be rude on here.....But if you're feeling lucky, go for it, what's the worst that could happen? 

If you want to discuss in more detail feel free to reach out. 

Feel free to reach out in DM and I can share. 

I appreciate all the help in advance and please feel free to ask me to clarify further on certain things!

You asked for advice, I am offering it, if you want to learn how, feel free to PM me. 

I have a friend who has some real estate experience (mainly legal, local knowledge) that could be 'boots on the ground' in terms of understanding the locale, assisting with property management.  

Steadily operates an agency but they're mainly an MGA writing their own product.We work with that product and like it.However, I believe it's better to work with an agency that is totally independent and especially one where a knowledgeable agent isn't going to "mistakenly" write a worthless policy and leave it up to the policy holder to catch it after the fact.

Just want to learn and soak up as  much knowledge as I can.
