Negotiating with RE agent
We're looking to purchase our first investment property here in the burbs near chicago. We want to approach a RE agent to make offers for us on HUD properties.
I'm capable of researching my own properties and handling the other duties a buyer's agent normally would do, so basically they would only be submitting my offer. In return for a commission with minimal effort, I was thinking of asking for a certain percent back in the form of paying for some of my closing costs.
Anyone ever work a deal with an agent like this? Suggestions on how much percentage would be a fair offer?
