My realtor has recently moved to a new company and we were loyal and followed her so long as we were still able to get the 6% commission and the aforementioned kickback once we moved my wife's license to the agency.  

I am getting a few tenants that have not paid me and wondering if a collection agency is the right rout at this point?

They are always worth the $, and since you are buying, the agency fee is paid by the sellers.

You should check with your broker though as most agencies don't allow wholesaling.

With that survey then the insurance agency can determine exactly what the costs would be.

Hi Sandra -- Do you hold dual/poly citizenship and/or Non-US tax residency?

Also pay attention to Agency law and be weary of the relationships you enter into with prospects. 

These are the companies that connect investors with the local real estate agencies in different countries and do all the market research for you.

Thought it was bad enough the C21 Broker (listing and selling, dual agent broker) never updated the listing when it Pending, In Contract, Nor Sold.2 weeks after we closed, agents and prospective buyers were walking onto the property and into while we were painting etc, saying they were just taking a brief look, asking for the owner, etc, so we notified the Broker to make sure update the listing as SOLD.Broker replied in December saying it would be updated.Now  into 2nd month following sale, C21 broker still has it For Sale on C21 website and the MLS.. which means going on 2mos of inquisitives knocking, walking all over the landscape, etc.
