A broker wanted us to sign an exclusive with him.  

As I was reading through http://www.remodeling.hw.net/ as I usually do at the being of every month and I came across an article titled,EXCLUSIVE: Construction crew finds five guns, 100 bullets in Harlem apartment’s kitchen ceiling while remodelingAfter reading this article it made me wondering about what are some of the most unexpected thing you all have ever came across while renovating a rental or a flip property?

Everything done with the retirement plan is for the exclusive benefit of the plan, and there is a strong firewall between you and the plan.  

I plan to continue investing in SFH throughout the considerable future, so it is not that my only focus will be multi-family.My haphazard plans and thoughts which I am still developing:-I plan to have a considerable focus on working with investors as a real estate agent; this will not be exclusive-Working with the best investors will automatically give me access to individuals already doing what I want to be doing (I know not all of them will be working in multi-family, but I intend to ask questions and build on their network)-Having more access to what is going on in my market through the MLS will give me an idea of what investors are buying; you will understand the cap rates for different markets in your area and be able to monitor that more closely-I feel like being a part of this network could potentially get me access to unlisted deals from the investors I have built relationships with-Showing up to a REIA meeting as a real estate agent willing to do some extra leg work for investors could be an easier introduction (I can add value)-Finding out by working in these deals who are the lenders people are working with; how are they financing their deals, etc.

Leverage and passive involvement are not mutually exclusive.  

In general the IRS requires direct ownership by the taxpayer claiming the primary residence exclusion.

I've been talking to a RE agent who wants me to sign an exclusive buyers rep agreement with them.

I would love to do exclusively online but I have three tenants who don't have online access so I have to have another option for them.

I focus exclusively on commercial and investment real estate (I've never sold a single family in my life).
