Let me throw out my Maslow Hierarchy of Needs principle for remodeling.

In the end I do the research and come up with facts that usually refute it all.Realtors, like many so-called professionals. sometimes like to throw out a bunch of bs just to make themselves sound intelligent.

You will then be better able to ask specific questions which are not quite so broad.There is a wealth of information here on BP, and if you take some time to read first, instead of throwing out a question which could take volumes to answer, then you will have already read the volumes, and we can better help with your specific needs.

Before I act on anything, I thought I'd throw out these questions to those that have responded thus far and people planning to attend.

We don't generally advertise bonuses, but if the agent on the other side does a good job, we'll throw it in at closing as a surprise.To me, a bonus is nothing more than a tip -- it keeps the agents happy, leaves a good impression, and ensuring that I'll get more business in the future.Think bonuses don't help?

This is not the type of transaction that is going to throw up red flags at the IRS and they aren't following you....or are they?

And they're throwing in things like deed restrictive that limit transfers for some period of time.

You should be a part of a real estate board if your licensed... you want to contact them and tell them you have a dispute... if your not getting help then you want to contact the licensing department for your state... either way someone will launch an investigation and get an agreement to what will happen to resolve the matter..Just to throw it out there, because I'm a KW agent, I've had great experiences with my fellow agents... but it seems like we are recruiting so much we are starting to get some of the trash from other companies :-/

Just thinking about it, that is a little bit of a doozy, after all, you don't want to throw the first number!

I like your idea of owning rentals but throwing in the occasional flip when an opportunity arises, that extra cash can go right into more rentals or be used as reserves in case of vacancies, repairs, etc.Good luck to you and make sure you ask questions if you are not able to find what you are looking for.
