If he refuses, close and then bring suit for her damages.

I’ve been marketing to distressed homeowners trying to find my own deals but closing deals is not my strong suit.

Your agent might be able to sue you for fess they acquired in good faith effort to sell your property - marketing, includes pictures etc. this can go into other things based on a procuring cause as well when breach of contract has been established;If you went the FSBO route after ‘firing’ your agent, any buyer that came through that was a result of the first efforts made by your agent could be grounds for a suit of commission as they were the original procuring cause (they technically brought the buyer to your property first with their efforts), if you went on to ‘bad mouth’ your agent a subsequent defamation suit could possibly arise.

I already met quite a few people from my job.For me, I also plan on starting an Instagram account documenting my RE journey hoping to help others learn from my successes and my failures and build relationships along the way.

I have considered that my targeted plan is to go for a buy and hold to create cashflow method of investing as I find it very interesting and the most suited to me.

Have you looked at a single family where you might be able to add a suite? 

Not a even a whiff of a suit in that entire time, nor have I known a fellow landlord who has been sued, either directly, or indirectly through hear say or even rumour from my managers.Of course I own really good properties in really good neighborhoods with really good tenants and have had top professional management that entire time.

The lower section is completely gutted and I was going to ffer it at 90 cents build to suit.

Full risk avoidance would require a one-time use Hazmat suit and disposable tools.Wear your mask, wash your hands, sanitize your tools and dont eat the corners of your sandwich.

For example - sharing a post with the name, pictures, location of a building you closed on to market the successful closing to a LinkedIn , Instagram public page.
