hi all,
Why do Real Estate Agents ask if I'm buying the unit/house as an investment or a home ?
I'm still looking for a home before I buy my first IP but I think if I tell the agent I'm looking for a home... I will be disadvantaged as they are probably hoping to get the sales commission + rent commission when I rent it out through their agency (big assumption) if I buy it as an investment.
At the end of the day, it may just come down to how much money you put an offer in for but I'm still sure there must be a reason for asking this question.
any thoughts ?
