Hi, If realtor send referrals to loan officer and in return loan officer use agent to list him investment properties would this be considered kickback?

He list several advantages in doing so, but I will add a couple thoughts.

Hi everyonethis is my first post on BiggerPockets after listening to some podcast episodes.I am based in Italy and will invest in Italy, hence I'm searching for a source of info and listings for available homes here.I am evaluating various options to pursue in the not-so-far future and all the websites that list multi-unit properties seem to be focused on the US market (loopnet, homes.com, crexi, realtor.com just to name few random ones that I found via google).The usual real estate portals in italy (immobiliare.it, casa.it, idealista.it) have no option for multi family and what can be found is often just related to multi-story properties intended as one single large property with multiple floors.Can you suggest how to approach this kind of search?

If you were to buy at listed price of 215k, traditional lender would require 25% down and buying down 1.25 points for a 7.625% rate.

This property is our personal former home and I list it by myself as a realtor.One new headache needs experienced landlords help: one potential has good income, meet the criteria of credit score (close to 680) and maybe the present landlord will be a fair reference ( he told me) BUT he has a registered service dog.

James, I deal mostly on the commercial and education side but from what I know 903.3.1.1.1 is the only place where they list exceptions and two forms of egress us not one of them. 903.3.1.2 calls out the requirement for nfpa 13r sprinkler systems for group R. if the rezoning is not allowing a grandfather from the original building code that didn't originally require sprinklers, then you are at the JHA's mercy on this one. 

Sick world we live in.I would have your buyer’s agent get his own broker involved -then your buyer’s agent’s broker can get the listing agent’s broker involved.  

I can also see if housing is selling for more or less than list price. 3.

This is a classic list it on the MLS, sell and move on with your life.

I listed them and got them under contract for $2k above asking immediately, all no cash, no contingencies.
