Keep in mind you have no contractual with owner so you have limited ways to get compensated.

I have a lot of knowledge about the local area's Real Estate market and wouldn't mind helping anyone out.

Would you mind providing a short summary of what the consensus is?

It's something you can do yourself if you have the patience and don't mind angry people hanging up on you.So for collections, it's far more efficient to pay collection agencies to do the work where they'll do it for a cut of the debt.

Something to keep in mind.

It really does keep people safer so I don't mind so much. 

They come speak to we agents at conventions and claim they aren't trying to cut us out, because the way it works is the seller (who can sell without showings, staging, etc.) is given an "instant offer" by them, but also a professional valuation from an agent, so in their mind, they are including us.The offers are very low, from what I've heard, and the fees equal, or in some cases, more.

looks like there's a lot of great minds thinking on the value here.

With our joint income, we’d have about 40k a year to invest.We’re pretty flexible people and don’t mind the lifestyle choice behind either option.

@Matthew Enos  do you mind sharing what lenders you are using in the area.
