Cash flow is opposite of low risk.
The amount of cash flow is the measurement of risk. It's called the risk premium. As risk rises, so does cash flow. As risk decreases, so does cash flow.
Yield is a function of risk.

Did you market the property anywhere before Zillow? Zillow is banning properties that were marketed other places before being on their website.

Nearly all agents you encounter work for brokers. Their brokers set what they are allowed to charge. The individual agents can't determine what they charge.

Quote from @Devid Brodsky:
Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy a townhouse in Montgomery County, Maryland for house hacking. My budget is under $450,000. I know the metro area can be pricey so I'm hoping to find something affordable within that range.
My strategy is to buy and hold and also to house hack. My job is located in Washington, DC and my plan is to drive to the Shady Grove Metro station, park there, and take the subway into the city each day.
Do you know of any ideal and safe cities or areas in MoCo with driving access to the Shady Grove Metro station where I might find a house within my budget? Thank you so much for your help!

I looked up your listing. There is definitely things Id have done differently in the listing. Ask questions on their strategy for selling. The reality though, is Redfin typically just puts it on the MLS and doesnt have a strategy to sell.

If its not in the contract, then dont pay it. If they charge it to you, let them know youll be reporting their illegal charge to the state authority that oversees property managers.

Your options are to buy the property with cash and assume all the liens, or not to buy the property.
