whats the best way to work with agents on these props with out paying a hudge deposit to the bank ? is $1000 the norm and should i just work into the price to the buyer?
Are you talking about the earnest money deposit? If you are then most REOs require a $1,000 earnest money deposit with the offer.
If your talking about the earnest money deposit, with listed properties from the banks in most cases the agents don’t have a choice the banks won’t budge.
