I’ve heard on the podcast some people will buy properties set them up to be laid off in time for the kids to go to college and use the cash flow to pay school?

A brokerage carries some risk if they have agents working with clients as one would in a buyer's agency relationship when they are technically still transaction brokers.Another reason Derek's agent probably wants him to sign an exclusive is because she's a professional, does this full time as her career, has bills to pay/a family to feed and doesn't want to waste her valuable time answering lots of questions, giving valuable advice, analyzing properties, sharing her valuable knowledge, sharing her network of contacts, building what she believes is a mutually-beneficial relationship, and showing/writing offers on multiple properties only to have Derek buy a place with his cousin Ralph without paying her a penny.I never had a problem signing an exclusive when working with agents to buy properties before I got licensed, and now as an agent I of course prefer having one early on in a relationship, not only because CO frowns upon not having one legally, and my board of Realtors and brokerage also require me to have one, but also because I like to know I'm actually working with someone.

It isn't a deal killer, but in this situation I'd talk to the holder of the Land Contract and see if he's on board.

With the school so close, check the boards for students looking for lodging.

Not worth the risk not getting permits especially if you will be getting the work done by licensed professionals and above board.
