If I were the agent I would certainly give you a major break- or maybe not charge you, if I liked you and thought you'd hire me again.

We currently have a home warranty (through Old Republic) in place that would cover the cost of replacing or repairing the water heater should it break.

More Agents Job-Hopping to Other Brokerages DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 09, 2015Real estate agents are increasingly on the move.

Sending a "no update to report" is better than not sending anything until there is news because the client will feel like you are keeping them out of the loop or not being professional.There might be a few states who require a Realtor designation as part of licensing but I do not know of any.

welcome to bp @Eric Haasyou will need some money  to get started for marketing and closing coststhe good news is not muchstart networking and attending your local rei group meetups good luck 

I have someone looking to invest but they are more interested in a tax break than in the return.  

@Charles Socci I am working on obtaining a license, I let my expire, but I think as long as I'm not representing anyone I am not breaking any laws but I will be sure to double check.

Originally posted by @Sean OReilly:...can be good opportunities for me to go in, lower rent and recover utility costs  My first impression is that this will be a break-even (- lower rent, + utility billings), and that you will not get paid for your development and implementation costs. 

For younger/mid cycle guys it can be tough breaking even or making repairs out of pocket because rents are paying down so much principle each month. 

It really left us high and dry come selling time since we're pretty much breaking even on sale prices + fees - mortgage balanceI'd like to avoid PMI especially since seeing now that they never go away on an FHA loan.
