What he meant might be for you to be just a documentation representative, now on things like that, depending on hours, I usually charge the whole day, or at minimum half a day, it is not only the time that I'll be on site, you need to include travel time.

Its a new home so less risk with using a novice agent to represent as a buyer.Been in that area quite a bit and short answer is Northgate is considered a notch below Ardenwood.

While it represents money, it also represents a problem they want rid of. 

So if you make an offer to the listing agent they will just represent you via dual agency.

I hope Im answering some of your question.Im not sure if you are stating he has already signed a agency agreement with another Brokerage- if thats the case then who are you really representing?

Most agents who represent investors as buyers receive the re-list on the property but often times are willing to re-list it for a discounted commission. 

This is why we always offer our multi-sheet calculations to potential investors upfront, so they can look at how the numbers work on some representative properties, ask any and all questions, and feel comfortable with the mechanics of the math before they even consider looking at specific properties for investment.

My expenses would be higher - particularly insurance (new, inexperienced owner represents higher risk), and taxes. 

I was wondering if any of you has a referral for a RE attorney representing landlords and a RE accountant in San Francisco or the larger Bay Area.
